Use of foaming agents is driven by several,
primarily cost-saving, factors. Processors
use foaming to lower their overall raw
material cost, which becomes particularly
important with increasing resin prices.
"Reducing part weight by five percent will
immediately pay for the cost of the
foaming agent. However, a more typical
weight saving of 20 to 40 percent results in
a much greater overall cost saving," notes
Manfred Dicks, head of Additive
Masterbatches, North America, for
Clariant Masterbatches, global producer of
colour and additive masterbatches
including Hydrocerol® chemical foaming
agents. Chemical foaming agents have an
opportunity to grow as companies focus
on ways to improve productivity, agrees
