As gases may also be delivered into the system by direct injection (then called physical blowing agents), one needs to differentiate between the physical blowing agents (PFAs) and chemical foaming agents (CFAs). The physical blowing agent system requires engineering modifications, such as a high-pressure injection unit, extended screws and barrels, and gas storage or compression units. Once the cavity is filled, the mold opens, or one of the sides has a slide, to allow the expansion of the gas-loaded compound.
