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.
They can
improve cable insulation and electrical properties
and reduce overall material usage and cable
weight.
SUPPORT
Our experts can offer product recommendations
in the chemical foaming of plastics, taking into
consideration:
• Manufacturing process
• Application polymer grades
• Regulatory requirements (e.g., food contact
compliance, toy regulations)
• Targeted performance requirement
(e.g., lightweighting, polymer use reduction,
insulation, improved processing)
They also provide technical assistance and best
practices for using Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming
Agents in the best conditions for a successful
foaming of the plastic parts.

Making Plastic Parts More Sustainable
This article will explain bio-based and recycled raw materials often used in plastics while exploring key factors such as color, performance, regulations, price, and supply.
Similar to traditional materials, confirming which standards must be met and ensuring the sustainable plastic formulation is compliant is important.

Three Automotive Parts Primed for Metal-to-Plastic Conversion
It is equally important to note that not all metal parts are suitable for conversion to plastics.
Thermally conductive components: Traditionally, thermoplastics’ inherent insulating properties limited their use in heat dissipation applications.
