In the field of chemical additives, azodicarbonamide (ADC) is known for its high gas content and competitive price. It is known as a blowing agent and plays a vital role in various industries. Azodicarbonamide is a blowing agent from Suntec Foaming Agents that is used in most plastic and rubber products to reduce product weight.
1. Azodicarbonamide is widely used, such as PVC, PS, PP, PE. Widely used in plastic and rubber foam (PE, PS, EVA, PVC), also used in NBR, SBR.
2. Azodicarbonamide is especially suitable for molding foam of PE.Commonly used in EVA (large die hot pressing) and PVC molding foam. Can be used for rubber and plastic molding or free mold foaming.
3. Plastics and polymer manufacturing Industry: Azodicarbonamide is widely used in plastic products, especially in the manufacture of foam materials to reduce plastic weight.People want to use it to save materials and costs.
4. Building material: Azodicarbonamide is used in the production of grout and other building materials.Its foaming agent properties help to reduce the weight of concrete without compromising strength, which is particularly beneficial for structural applications and energy efficiency.
AC Blowing Agents are widely used in industries such as plastic manufacturing, foam production, and rubber processing due to their efficient gas release properties, resulting in lightweight and flexible materials. However, as with any compound, safety is paramount, especially when handling large-scale operations to ensure safe, efficient production and worker safety.
Proper storage of AC Blowing Agents is essential to maintaining safety in industrial environments. Azodicarbonamide is temperature sensitive, so it should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Ideally, storage temperatures should be kept below 30°C (86°F). Containers should be sealed to prevent moisture intrusion, which can make the compound unstable. Moisture-proof packaging and climate-controlled storage are strongly recommended for large-scale users.
AC Blowing Agents release dust particles during handling, posing an inhalation risk to workers and a potential explosion hazard. A proper ventilation system, such as local exhaust ventilation (LEV), should be installed in the processing area to remove airborne particles. Additionally, dust suppression measures such as anti-static equipment and controlled airflow minimize the risk of dust accumulation.
Workers should wear appropriate PPE, including respirators, gloves, goggles, and protective clothing to prevent skin and eye contact and reduce the risk of inhalation. Respirators equipped with dust filters are particularly important during handling, as they prevent exposure to fine particles. Regular training on the proper use and maintenance of PPE will further enhance workplace safety.
The decomposition of AC foaming agents releases nitrogen, a process that requires careful temperature control to prevent unintended reactions. During production, maintaining precise temperature settings within the manufacturer's guidelines is critical to avoid overheating and rapid release of gas, which can result in a sudden increase in pressure or even explosion in extreme cases. Using thermal monitoring systems and automatic shutoff controls can help prevent such events.
The amount of AC blowing agent depends on the properties of the product. Generally speaking, from 0.1 to 30 copies.Such as light compound about 5, pressed foam sponge, soft and hard sponge large agreement 15-25, polyethylene metal wire about 0.1.Among them, if used for processing sponge rubber products, its number is recommended in 1-20.Before and after the use of AC blowing agent, it should be stored in a ventilated, cool and dry place after purchasing.
Before the use of AC blowing agent, it is recommended to conduct pilot and batch tests first, and finally change the formula.During the use of AC blowing agent, according to the performance of the product, appropriate to add some activators, such as zinc oxide, stearate, carbonate and phosphate.
Blowing agent AC is a blowing agent with the largest volume of gas, the best performance and a wide range of uses.It is used in synthetic materials such as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyamide, ABS and rubber. Widely used in slippers, soles, insoles, plastic wallpaper, ceiling, floor leather, artificial leather, heat insulation, sound insulation materials and other foam.Blowing agent ADC has the characteristics of stable performance, non-flammable, non-polluting, non-toxic and tasteless, no corrosion to the mold, no dyeing of the product, adjustable decomposition temperature, and no influence on curing and forming speed. This product can be normal pressure foaming, pressure foaming, even foaming, fine pore structure is ideal.
