Sustainability Spotlight Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents Reflection electron microscopy (REM) view of foamed plastic Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents are supplied as concentrates CHEMICAL FOAMING AGENTS (CFAs) are chemical substances that react under the influence of heat to release gas into the plastic matrix during the manufacturing process of plastic parts.

The resin inherently offers heat resistance, but for some demanding applications, it also needs the addition of flame retardants to increase its resistance to flammability. They are also halogen-free in accordance with the IEC 61249-2-21 standard. Attendees are encouraged to visit Avient’s booth 5316 in Hall B5 from October 17 – 21 in Friedrichshafen, Germany to learn more.   

Cesa™ Fiber Additives: including Non-Halogen Flame Retardant and Heat Preservation Solutions, offer long-term flame retardancy at low dosages to make fibers more resistant to ignition and control flame propagation, smoke, and heat generation without impacting color. Solutions for heat preservation can absorb more heat when exposed to solar rays or transfer human energy radiation into heat.

As a result, customers will be able to react more quickly to design trends, meet technical requirements as well as color standards, and thereby increase speed to market. The market requirements for colored, high-performance polymers are clear: you have to react quickly and also be able to supply various volumes of colored material,” says Anne Hippert, general manager, Colorant Chromatics at Avient.
