Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming and Nucleating Agents reduce material requirements by up to 20% without compromising stiffness, mechanical properties, or aesthetic appeal.
Available in North America, injection-moldable reSound™ R VX TPEs utilize 25% (PCR) and up to 40 percent (PIR) recycled content, and both grades can be overmolded onto polypropylene (PP).
Added during processing, Hydrocerol is heat activated and releases gas to form a cellular foam structure, keeping the outer skin solid without voids.
