Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents FOR USE IN INJECTION MOLDING TECHNICAL GUIDE CHEMICAL FOAMING AGENTS • Reduced part weights, saving material and costs • Reduced cycle times • Smoother surface • Fine cell structure • No discoloration or odor • Suitable for standard machinery • Flexibility in production • Smaller machines, due to lower clamping forces • Higher stiffness-to-weight ratio • Elimination of warpage • Elimination of sink marks • Improved dimensional accuracy • Improved flowability • Improved thermal insulation • Decreased sound transfer • Creation of new effects Chemical foaming agents are substances, which get activated at typical thermoplastic polymer processing temperatures, liberating gases such as CO2 and/or N2. The activation of Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents should happen approximately in the middle of the barrel exceeding the temperature indicated in the technical data sheet of the processed Hydrocerol concentrates grade.
