PVC
SAFOAM® is offered in a low temperature polyolefinic masterbatch of an endothermic chemical nucleating and blowing agent for the creation of a foam structure in thermoplastic injection molding and extrusion applications. SAFOAM® masterbatches for PVC contain SAFOAM® powder and special olefinic surfactants and carrier resins, which improve melt tension and melt flow. It is commonly used in injection molding for creation of structural foam. In extrusion operations, it is used for the creation of standard size cells in medium density extrudate. All SAFOAM® powders are microencapsulated with special surfactants, which result in:
- Improved bubble stability
- Slowed moisture absorption and diffusion rate
- Extended CO2 shelf life
- Excellent dispersion
POLYVINYL CHLORIDE (PVC):
Its success stems from its excellent value and versatility. It can be tailored to specific applications through compounding to manufacture products ranging from very thin transparent films to thick, heavy-walled pressure pipe.
