MIKROFINE® ADC-3838

Azodicarbonamide. Acts as a blowing agent. It does not generate steam on decomposition thereby limiting mold corrosion. It is self-nucleating and produces foams with fine uniform cell structure and smooth surfaces. It is specially designed for injection molding and expansion of foamed thermoplastics. Recommended for polyethelenic and styrenic polymers with processing temperature around 210-230°C. Suitable for wood replacement for electrical equipment, housing and automotive components, cross-linked injection molded EVA tyres, telephone & coaxial cables and extruded pipes. The recommended dosage rate is 0.4 - 1.0 PHR depending upon the polymer used and the extent of expansion required.
