This is where Avient’s Foaming Prediction Service can help.
FOAMING PREDICITION SERVICE Avient Design uses Autodesk® Moldflow® simulation software1 to provide 3D simulations of parts foamed with Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents during the mold filling phase.
The foaming simulation is carried out under confidentiality and is currently available for components made from polypropylene (PP), talcum filled PP, and glass fiber filled PP, with a minimum part thickness of 2mm.

Grades are available for polyolefins, PP, PC/ABS, ABS, PA6— filled and reinforced polymers included—and others on request.
Wire & Cable Chemical foaming agents can be used in polymers for wire and cable applications as nucleating agents in the physical foaming process, creating regular and small foam cells.
Extrusion-specific concentrates are available for most common packaging resins, including PP, PE, PS, PET, and PLA.

In particular, cellular PP solutions leverage innovative foaming additives to enhance performance, reduce weight, and optimize material usage, making them an excellent choice for modern cable insulation.
WHY USE A FOAMING ADDITIVE IN WIRE & CABLE APPLICATIONS?
Cellular technology can be combined with a solid formulation in skin-foam-skin or foam-skin design for enhanced properties.
