Features & Benefits

Materials Features: Cost Effective,
Fast Extrusion Speed,
Shorter Cycle Time
Product Highlights: Endex ABC 2750™ utilizes innovative technology to produce superior quality foamed products. It generates fine, closed-cell foams, which result in moldings and extrusions of high quality.

Endex ABC 2750™ Processing Aid can be used in injection molding for cycle time reduction, improved polymer flow, reduced processing temperatures, improved weld line strength, and to eliminate molded-in stresses which cause warp and sinks.
Advantages: Endex ABC 2750™ has many advantages for the plastics processor, including:

Fine cell structure

Shorter cycle times

Faster extrusion

Thick, smooth skins in SFM

Fast degassing

Fast painting and decorating

No plate-out on molds

Beryllium-copper compatible

G.R.A.S. or FDA sanctioned ingredients
