Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment.

In addition to weight reduction and raw material savings, Hydrocerol CFAs can provide several other benefits that include: • thermal and acoustic insulation • increased stiffness-to-weight ratio • elimination of warpage and sink marks • more efficient processing Automotive Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents are particularly recommended for lightweighting projects. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment. SUPPORT Our experts can offer product recommendations in the chemical foaming of plastics, taking into consideration: • Manufacturing process • Application polymer grades • Regulatory requirements (e.g., food contact compliance, toy regulations) • Targeted performance requirement (e.g., lightweighting, polymer use reduction, insulation, improved processing) They also provide technical assistance and best practices for using Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents in the best conditions for a successful foaming of the plastic parts.
