 |
SAFOAM RIC-25 is a low temperature polyolefinic masterbatch of an endothermic chemical nucleating and blowing agent for the creation of a foam structure in thermoplastic injection molding and extrusion applications.
SAFOAM RIC-25 contains 25% SAFOAM RIC powder and 75% special olefinic surfactants and carrier resins, which improve melt tension and melt flow.
It is commonly used in injection molding for creation of structural foam.
In extrusion operations, it is used for the creation of standard size cells in medium density extrudate.
Recommended for olefinic and vinyl based thermoplastics, but may be used in any thermoplastics or thermoset material that reaches the decomposition temperature during processing.
SAFOAM RIC-25 is commonly used as a nucleating agent in low-density direct gas polyethylene foam and in custom compounding of PVC.
*Benefits:
