Foaming Masterbatch

Foaming masterbatch is a specialized additive used in the plastic manufacturing industry to create a foam structure within polymer products. It contains effective constituents like azodicarbonamide, which decomposes to release gas during processing, resulting in the formation of voids that significantly reduce the density of the final product-often by 15-30%. This lightweight characteristic not only leads to decreased material usage, but also enhances processing efficiency, as the foaming agent is activated at temperatures around 200-210°C. Moreover, foaming masterbatch demonstrates excellent compatibility with various thermoplastics, such as PE, PS, and PVC, allowing for a seamless integration into diverse applications, including automotive components, sports equipment, and consumer products.

• Automotive Components: Foaming masterbatch is widely used in the automotive industry, particularly for manufacturing seats and interior components. By introducing foaming masterbatch, automakers can achieve a weight reduction of up to 30% in parts, thereby improving ride comfort and reducing vehicle weight. In addition, foaming masterbatch can improve the mechanical properties of materials and ensure structural integrity under different environmental conditions. For example, the impact resistance of seat materials using foaming masterbatch can be improved by 15-20%, which makes it excellent in both safety and durability.


• Construction Materials: Foaming masterbatch is essential in the production of foam concrete, widely used for insulating roofs and walls. The incorporation of foaming agents can enhance the thermal insulation properties of the concrete, achieving an insulation value that is up to 50% better than traditional concrete. This improved thermal performance helps meet energy efficiency standards and reduces heating and cooling costs for buildings.


• Sports Equipment: In the sports equipment sector, foaming masterbatch is used to produce mats, padding, and balls that require both lightweight and resilient characteristics. By using foam masterbatch, the weight of sports equipment can be reduced by about 15-20%, which makes the equipment lighter, easier to carry and use. In addition, the introduction of foam masterbatch also enhances the cushioning performance of the material and improves the safety of sports equipment. For example, sports mats using foam masterbatch have improved their performance in impact absorption by 30%, effectively reducing the risk of injury during exercise.

• Weight Reduction: By creating gas-filled voids within the polymer matrix, foaming agents reduce bulk density while maintaining structural integrity. For instance, products utilizing foaming masterbatch can experience a reduction in weight by up to 30%.


• Improved Mechanical Properties: By introducing gas-filled voids into the polymer matrix, foaming masterbatch optimizes the internal structure of the material, allowing the final product to be improved in strength and toughness. For example, products using foaming masterbatch can achieve a 15-20% increase in tensile strength while maintaining or reducing weight.


• Cost Efficiency: Foaming masterbatches can lead to significant cost savings during production. The use of foaming agents allows for a reduction in the amount of polymer required, thereby lowering material costs. For example, if a manufacturer uses 1% foaming agent in a polymer blend, it can yield a 10-15% reduction in overall plastic usage while achieving similar or improved product performance. Additionally, the shortened cycle times during injection molding (due to reduced pressure times) enhance production efficiency, further driving down costs.


• Minimized Sink Marks: Using foaming masterbatch can significantly reduce the occurrence of sink marks-shallow depressions caused by excessive shrinkage in thicker areas of molded parts. Adding 1% of foaming masterbatch can reduce the incidence of sink marks by more than 30%, thereby improving the surface finish and overall appearance of the product.
