Applications
Foamed products are widely used in domestic and industrial applications.
Indeed, they are integral to our daily lives. Foamed products range
from seals, sealing profiles and thermal insulation products used
in buildings and automobiles to rigid sheets and profiles for the
construction industry.
Chemical blowing agents may be used universally to produce the whole
range of chemically foamed products.
They are equally suitable for a great variety of
polymers such as
• Flexible PVC and Rigid
PVC
• The polyolefins polypropylene
(PP), high and low density polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE)
• Polystyrene and copolymers such as styrene
acrylonitriles (SAN, ABS)
• Engineering thermoplastics such as polyphenyloxide (PPO), polyamide
(PA), polybutylene and polyethylene terephthalate (PBT, PET)
• Natural and the following grades of synthetic rubber: |
|
|
| |
o styrene-butadiene
copolymers (SBR), polyisoprene (IR)
o acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymers (NBR)
o blends of NBR and PVC (NBR/PVC)
o polychloroprene (CR)
o ethylene-vinylacetate copolymers (EVA)
o and ethylene-propylene terpolymers (EPDM) |
