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.
Packaging
The Hydrocerol CFAs portfolio includes grades
specially developed for extruded packaging films
and sheets where thermoforming characteristics
of the finished article are critical.

In order to optimize its profit
margins, the company sought to control system costs by
avoiding secondary assembly and handling.
The company valued the high
quality and technical precision offered by this specialized
production line.

The white ABS
plastic samples, produced with and without Cesa
Light Additives, were exposed to simulated sunlight
conditions using the weathering test ISO 4892-
2:2013.
Samples containing Cesa Light Additives
(CC01, CC02, CC03) showed limited Delta b (Db)
variations, while the non-UV stabilized sample
showed a high Db variation and visual yellowing.
