ID Additives develops foaming agent for extrusion
Micro Fine Cell foaming agents The foaming agents in this line from iD Additives are formulated in micro pellets for fine cellular structure and uniform distribution. They can be used with polyolefins, TPU, thermoplastic elastomers, thermoplastic polyolefins, PS and more, even high-temperature and engineering resins. The endothermic or exothermic foaming agents are pelletized in a carrier compound iD Additives calls iDPel.
What’s new? An exothermic micro pellet foaming agent tailored for extrusion applications.
Benefits Better dispersion and consistency in the blend, with less mess than the more commonly used liquid foaming agents. The foaming agent is ideal for pipe, profile, tube and lumber extrusion applications that require a very fine cellular structure.
