In addition to weight reduction and raw material
savings, Hydrocerol CFAs can provide several
other benefits that include:
• thermal and acoustic insulation
• increased stiffness-to-weight ratio
• elimination of warpage and sink marks
• more efficient processing
Automotive
Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents are
particularly recommended for lightweighting
projects.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Chemical resistance
• Maintaining high impact performance at low
temperatures
• Low moisture uptake
• Dimensional stability comparable to nylon
• Higher impact resistance than short fiber
alternatives
• Eco-conscious alternative to nylons
• More cost-effective solution than specialty
nylons
• Available in non-PFAS* formulations to achieve
UL 94 V-0 flame rating at 1.5 mm
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
These materials are for use in applications
traditionally made of metal requiring moisture,
chemical and cold impact performance
requirements, including:
• Industrial – pipes, tubing, fluid management
• Electrical & Electronics – connectors,
battery components, battery housings
• Transportation – under-the-hood fuel/
chemical contact components, non-structural
interior components
• Oil & Gas – fuel pump components, fuel doors
PRODUCT BULLETIN
* Non-PFAS flame-retardant (FR) grades are manufactured without
intentionally added PFAS-based raw materials.

Whether
you’re designing for high-use, public devices or
everyday home products that need to last longer,
choosing the right material is more important than
ever to minimize disinfectant-related failures, like
cracking and crazing.
