Foam™ LBA-135

1 of 1 products in this brand

Foam™ LBA-135 are foaming agents have been used to reduce the densities of molded and extruded thermoplastics. Today, this need is receiving more attention because of the desire to make plastics more sustainable. This can be accomplished by reducing the amount of plastic needed to make a finished product. By reducing the density, you have reduced the amount of plastic used to make molded parts and extruded products, thereby reducing your carbon footprint. Liquid foaming agents can be metered precisely into the melt flow to achieve the desired level of density reduction and are produced without a heat history eliminating pre-decomposition concerns. The selection of endothermic, exothermic, or a combination of both is available in our product line. Processing with liquid endothermic foaming agents will also reduce the energy required for your process.
