Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents: polymer additives typically used in consumer goods and automotive components to reduce part weight, enabling processors to use 10 to 20% less plastic when creating parts that are visually identical to heavier, solid-walled alternatives

Syncure XLPE is versatile enough to produce solid, coextruded or foam profiles, films or injection molded parts.

The line of additives includes the new Mevopur chemical foaming agents that help manufacturers of pharmaceutical packaging and medical devices add another level of sustainability to their products.
