Product type
Blowing agents are substances that produce gas during the manufacturing process of plastics, creating a cellular structure within the material. They are typically composed of chemical compounds that decompose at specific temperatures to release gases such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide. This process results in lightweight, insulating, and flexible plastic products.
| Types | Physical blowing agents and chemical blowing agents |
| Decomposition temperature | Typically between 100°C to 250°C |
| Gas yield | Varies based on agent, typically 50 to 200 mL/g |
| Applications | Used in foam production, insulation materials, and packaging |
| Regulatory compliance | Must meet local and international safety standards |
When selecting a blowing agent, consider the type that best suits your application, whether physical or chemical. Specify the desired gas yield, decomposition temperature, and any regulatory compliance requirements. Additionally, indicate the quantity needed for your production to ensure accurate pricing and availability.
