Hydrocerol 2017
Hydrocerol – Chemical Foaming Agents is an additive masterbatches used to reduce weight, improve performance and optimize costs in products ranging from business machine housings to food packaging to material-handling systems, automotive parts and window profiles.
Application Benefits
- Weight reduction
- Raw material savings
- thermal insulation
- acoustic insulation
- increased stiffness-to-weight ratio
- improved surface texture
- elimination of warpage
- elimination of sink marks
- more efficient processing
Special Effects
- pearlescent appearance
- soft, non-slip texture
Hydrocerol additive masterbatches can also be used to achieve special surface effects when combined with colorants in multilayer containers. Light refraction caused by the foam can have a brightening effect that results in a pearlescent appearance. When used in the surface layer of a container, the foaming agent can yield a soft, non-slip texture.
Base Resin
Can be used to foam almost all commonly used thermoplastic resins and blends, including:
- HDPE
- LLDPE
- PS
- ABS
- PET
- PETG
- Polycarbonate(PC)
- Polycarbonate/ABS (PC/ABS)
- Polyamide (Nylon)
- Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE)
- PVC
