Uses

This product is a strong organic foaming agent of heat decomposition type. The decomposition temperature range is small. This product can be decomposed into N₂, CO, CO₂. The product is free from poison, smell and pollution, but it can be decomposed at high temperature (>120°C). Azodicarbonamide is used as a foaming agent for producing of various foamed plastics as PVC, EVA, PP, PE, PS etc., imitation leather and plastic products with high demands and dense, homogeneous apertures. This product is used to get good elasticity, homogeneous foamed apertures and high strength of the appropriate production
