Azodicarbonamide (ADC), a highly effective chemical blowing agent, has become indispensable in numerous manufacturing sectors due to its ability to create lightweight, cellular materials. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides high-quality ADC that fuels innovation across a range of industries. This article explores the key applications where ADC plays a crucial role.

One of the most significant applications of ADC is in the production of foamed plastics. When incorporated into polymer melts like PVC, PE, PP, and PS, ADC decomposes under heat to generate gas bubbles, transforming dense plastics into foamed structures. This is particularly important for:

  • PVC Foaming: ADC is extensively used in PVC applications such as artificial leather, flooring, wallpaper, and insulation. It provides the necessary expansion to create soft, flexible, and durable materials with good tactile properties. The ability to modify ADC's decomposition temperature allows for tailored foaming processes for different PVC formulations.
  • EVA Foaming: Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) foams, widely used in footwear (soles, insoles), sports equipment (yoga mats, protective gear), and packaging, rely heavily on ADC for their cushioning, flexibility, and shock-absorbing capabilities.
  • PE and PP Foaming: Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP) foams produced using ADC find applications in packaging, insulation, and automotive parts, benefiting from reduced weight and improved thermal properties.

The rubber industry also extensively utilizes ADC as a blowing agent to create expanded rubber products. These materials offer enhanced properties essential for:

  • Rubber Foaming: In the production of foamed rubber for seals, gaskets, hoses, and vibration dampeners, ADC helps achieve specific cell structures (open-cell or closed-cell) that provide crucial insulation, sealing, and cushioning functionalities. It's also used in making lightweight rubber components for automotive and industrial applications.
  • Synthetic Leather and Textiles: ADC contributes to the desirable feel, flexibility, and insulation properties of synthetic leather and coated textiles, making them suitable for apparel, upholstery, and accessories.

Beyond these primary uses, ADC finds its way into more specialized applications:

  • Insulation Materials: The cellular structure imparted by ADC makes it valuable in creating thermal and acoustic insulation materials for construction and industrial applications.
  • Lightweight Components: In sectors where weight reduction is critical, such as automotive and aerospace, ADC enables the production of lighter yet structurally sound components.
  • Consumer Goods: Many everyday items, from protective padding to decorative elements, benefit from the properties that ADC-blown foams provide, offering enhanced comfort, safety, and aesthetics.
