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 portfolio includes non-hazardous endothermic substances that require minimum cooling of the plastic parts after manufacturing. 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.

Victorinox designed and manufactured its first knives more than 130 years ago, and their pocket knives have been officially issued to Swiss Army recruits since 1891. Designers conceptualized a new, larger version of the Soldier’s model, including 10 tools, a lock blade that can be opened with one hand and, importantly, a non-slip handle manufactured from a combination of hard and soft thermoplastics. THE IMPACT With our support, Victorinox was enabled to do what it does best—develop and manufacture high-quality tools that meet both military and consumer needs.

Energy Efficient PET takes less energy to manufacture than alternative materials like glass. Also, the more rPET used in manufacturing, the higher the acetaldehyde levels, which can lead to odor and taste issues. They should contain at least 25% recycled plastic in their manufacture by 2025 (for PET bottles), and 30% by 2030 (for all bottles).
