Description

Porophor Dtk-5 is a specialized chemical additive widely recognized for its role as a blowing or foaming agent in polymer processing. Its primary value lies in generating a controlled, uniform cellular structure within materials, enhancing properties like weight reduction, thermal insulation, and impact absorption. This makes it an essential component for manufacturers in the plastics, rubber, and construction materials industries seeking to optimize product performance and cost-efficiency.

Application

• As a foaming agent in the production of expanded polyolefins (EPO), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE) foams.
• Manufacturing of lightweight and insulating materials for the construction sector, including foam boards and panels.
• Production of microcellular foams for automotive components to reduce weight and improve acoustic damping.
• Used in the rubber industry for creating sponge rubber and expanded EPDM seals and gaskets.
• Application in footwear midsoles and padding materials to enhance cushioning and comfort.
• Formulation of packaging materials that require protective, shock-absorbent properties.
• Potential use in wire and cable insulation to improve dielectric properties and flexibility.

Quality Control

Our Porophor Dtk-5 is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent performance as a foaming agent, including assessments of decomposition temperature, gas yield, and particle size distribution. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee product integrity and traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect performance. Keep away from heat sources and incompatible materials.
