AZODICARBONAMIDE - ADC Blowing Agent






 

isologo.jpg (4310 bytes)
ADC is most widely used blowing agent for foamed plastics and rubbers. ADC is particularly adapted for use in unicellular products where low gas loss by diffusion is required since it blows by releasing nitrogen. Although ADC has a relatively high decomposition temperature which makes it very stable under ordinary handling and processing conditions, it releases a large volume of gas when it is properly compounded in sponge formulations which cure at normal temperature. ADC is nonodorous and imparts no odor to the finished products.
