Processing Aids

Features & Benefits

Materials Features: Dimensional Stability,
Good Surface Appearance
Benefits: The use of engineered foaming agents can provide:

Weight reductions of up to 10% in thicker sectioned parts

Improved cooling

Improved visual appearance

Improved dimensional stability

Reduced overall resin usage

In parts with varying cross-sections, differential cooling can cause heat-related defects such as sink marks.

These can be effectively removed through the use of a foaming agent.
