Example in Table 5: The following flow control agents were tested in a urethane polyol with a high loading of filler, such that the combination would flow through a Zahn #5 cup viscometer. The polyol was Bayer Multranol 4035 polyether used at 70 g, with 30 g of two different fillers—tested separately. The polyol+ filler were hand mixed and put into the Zahn Cup with the bottom port closed with tape. When the Zahn cup was full, the tape was removed and the time for the mixture to flow out of the Cup was measured. All tests at 65° F. (18° C.). The agents were: Air Products DABCO DC197 silicone-based surfactant, Kenrich Petrochemicals Ken-React LICA 38, and Ken-React KR 55 organo-titanates, Shin-Etsu Chemical KBM-403 organo-silane.
