In support of our customers and prospective customers, we offer our
services to screen compounds in our lab equipment, saving you valuable
time and money as you select the right blowing agent for your application:
Formulation:
The polymeric compounds used in foam processing are usually different
than those used for non foam products. Our experts appreciate these
differences, understand the need for them and can offer advice as
to the types of formulations.
This advice is offered freely to our customers and prospective customers
and will include formulation advice for such polymers as:
• Rigid PVC
• Flexible PVC
• Plastisol PVC
• Polystyrene
• Polyethylene
• Rubber
