Cesa™ Nucleant Additives are mainly used to clarify PP resin.
Chemical foaming agents, materials that generate gas upon decomposition, also act as nucleating agents.
The fine-grain spherulite structure of ingredients incorporated in Hydrocerol™ chemical foaming agents make it an ideal nucleating agent in direct gassed PS and polyolefin foams.
