Azodicarbonamide ApplicationsThe thermal decomposition of azodicarbonamide results in the evolution of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and ammonia gases, which are trapped in the polymer as bubbles to form a foamed article. This is widely used in production of PVC, PP, LDPE, EVA and other plastic foaming articles like window and door gaskets, padded floor mats, gym/exercise mats or shoe soles.
ADCA can be pure or modified and modification affects the reaction temperatures.
