C2 is an environmentally friendly, ammonia-free blowing agent specifically designed for PVC extruded and soft products. It effectively reduces product density and improves cell structure while serving as a sustainable alternative to conventional AC and NC foaming agents. This makes it ideal for manufacturers seeking to meet stringent environmental regulations without compromising foaming performance or product quality.
Product Principle:
C2 decomposes within the temperature range of 140–165°C, releasing inert gas that forms uniform cells throughout the PVC matrix. Its ammonia-free composition eliminates unpleasant odors and potential health hazards associated with traditional blowing agents that release ammonia during decomposition. The controlled gas release mechanism ensures consistent cell nucleation and growth, resulting in a fine, homogeneous foam structure with excellent surface quality and dimensional stability.
Performance Characteristics:
With a gas formation volume of ≥120 ml/g, C2 delivers efficient foaming while maintaining low residual content in the final product. The narrow decomposition temperature window allows for precise control during processing, enabling manufacturers to optimize cell structure for specific applications. Low water content (≤1%) and minimal residue on sieve (0.1%) ensure clean decomposition without causing surface defects, plate-out, or die buildup during extended production runs. Its eco-friendly profile meets global standards for sustainable manufacturing and green building certifications.
