Chemical Foaming Agents for Injection Moulding of Styrenics
Chemical foaming agents are used in injection moulding of styrenics to reduce the weight of
the parts (so-called structural foam), to reduce sink marks and warpage and to achieve special
surface effects. Most foaming agents for this application are endothermic. Tramaco supply a
broad range of products to serve the needs of the industry.
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.
