The use of plastics in the industry has increased notably due to research and development in the use of modified polymers with additives. Some of the required characteristics are better mechanical properties, low density or weight, high processability that result in productivity and competitive cost.

The use of foaming agents allow manufacturing lighter-celled polymers of high performance and mechanical properties at a lower cost.

We could supply Foaming Agents like:

Endothermic: Polycarboxylate salts complexes

Exothermic: Azodicarbonamide, Azobisformamide & Hydracids

Endo-Exothermic: Custom made combinations of the above for different type of polymers

Microspheres: Spherical particles with a thermoplastic coating which allow gas encapsulation. When heated the surface softens and the gas increases its preassure resulting in a expansion which reduces the polymer density
