Foaming agent decreases dashboard weight by 20% while improving part bending strength, ultimately enhancing vehicle safety. With non-hazardous Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents (CFA) Avient helped the customer achieve their sustainability targets through significant energy savings in production and finished part weight reduction. Added during processing, Hydrocerol is heat activated and releases gas to form a cellular foam structure, keeping the outer skin solid without voids.
