At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we are dedicated to providing high-quality chemical solutions that drive innovation in various industries. One such cornerstone product is Azodicarbonamide (ADC), a highly versatile and effective chemical blowing agent. Its unique properties make it an indispensable component in the production of foamed plastics and rubbers, contributing to advancements in materials science and product design.

Azodicarbonamide, also known by its chemical formula C2H4N4O2 and CAS number 123-77-3, is a crystalline solid that typically appears as a yellow to orange powder. Its primary function is to release gases upon thermal decomposition, creating the cellular structure that defines foamed materials. This process is crucial for achieving desired properties such as reduced density, enhanced insulation, improved shock absorption, and aesthetic appeal in a wide array of products. The decomposition of ADC yields a mixture of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and ammonia, all of which are trapped within the polymer matrix to form the foam cells. Understanding the properties of ADC foaming agent is key to optimizing its use.

The versatility of Azodicarbonamide lies in its controllable decomposition temperature and gas yield, which can be fine-tuned through modifications and the addition of catalytic activators. This allows manufacturers to tailor the foaming process to specific polymers and desired foam characteristics. For instance, variations in particle size and decomposition temperatures, such as those found in low decomposition temperature azodicarbonamide grades, are vital for processing temperature-sensitive materials like EVA or PVC. The ability to achieve a high gas volume, often in the range of 220-245 mL/g, from this high gas volume blowing agent ensures efficient expansion and cost-effectiveness in production.

The applications of ADC are vast, spanning industries from automotive and construction to footwear and consumer goods. In plastics, it's used in PVC, PE, PP, and EVA foams, contributing to products like shoe soles, floor mats, insulation panels, and automotive interiors. The use of foaming agent for EVA and PVC is particularly prevalent due to these materials' compatibility with ADC. In the rubber industry, it's employed in the manufacturing of sponge rubber and cushioning components.

Beyond its industrial applications, Azodicarbonamide has also been used as a food additive, primarily as a flour treatment agent. However, this use is subject to varying regulations globally due to safety considerations. The World Health Organization (WHO) has noted potential respiratory issues linked to occupational exposure, classifying it as a respiratory sensitizer azodicarbonamide. Therefore, emphasis on azodicarbonamide safe handling practices in industrial settings is paramount. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. adheres to strict safety protocols to ensure the responsible supply and use of our chemical products.

In conclusion, Azodicarbonamide remains a critical component in modern material science, enabling the creation of high-performance foamed products. Its controlled decomposition, high gas yield, and adaptability make it a preferred choice for manufacturers seeking efficiency and quality in their foaming processes. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we are proud to supply premium ADC to meet the evolving needs of the global market.
