Chemical Foaming Agents and Additives for TPE
The diversity of TPE's requires different foaming agent compounds, preferred as granular
masterbatches for direct dosing to the extruder or for preblending with TPE granules for
injection moulding.
Our Technical Service Department will be glad to help you choose the best product from our
range for your application. Please use our contact form for your enquiries.
