Features & Benefits

Materials Features: Dimensional Stability,
Good Impact Strength,
Good Rigidity,
Good Surface Appearance,
High Strength to Weight Ratio,
Shorter Cycle Time
Highlights: Foaming agents are the additives which evolve gas through chemical reactions or through
thermal decomposition. This gas creates cell structure in the polymer matrix. Foaming agents
are of two types, Exothermic blowing agent and Endothermic blowing agent.
Properties: Very fine closed cell structure
Better surface appearance
Direct dosage in final formulation
Recommended Temperature: 190- 220 degree centigrade
Benefits: Reduce Weight Strength ratio

Improve rigidity

Thermal Insulation

Excellent Impact Strength
