The gas expansion pressure supports the foam core structure formation while reducing the appearance of sink marks, as it expands from within.
Sink marks and warpage are caused by material shrinkage in thick or asymmetric areas during cooling.
Sink-mark With chemical foaming, no sink-marks Core-Back Expansion molding allows greater density reductions than typical injection molding.
