Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives Chemical Foaming Agents (CFA) for Medical Devices and Pharmaceutical Packaging As the need to integrate sustainability in the design of healthcare products is growing, manufacturers of medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging are looking for materials with a more environmentally-friendly profile. One angle is to offer chemical foaming agents that help reduce plastic material use. These CFAs are the result of Avient’s combined experiences in the development of chemical foaming agents for automotive plastic components and polymer solutions for healthcare applications.

In very thick parts, sinks can be minimized by using a small amount (0.2 percent) of a blowing agent. If you do use blowing agents, remember that parts must stay it the tool longer to prevent the foaming agent from bulging the part when ejected. GLS can provide special grades with internal mold release agents to minimize the problem.
