AC 3000 Blowing Agent

AC 3000 is a chemical blowing agent based on azodicarbonamide (ADC) used in the production of PVC foams, EVA foams, rubber foams, composite plastic foams, PE foams, PP foams, and PU foams. It is the most commonly used type of blowing agent in the foam industry.

AC 3000 is a high-temperature blowing agent that decomposes at a temperature of 150 to 180 ℃ to release gaseous nitrogen. This gaseous nitrogen forms bubbles in the plastic material, which results in the formation of foam.

AC 3000 has many advantages, including:

• It is effective and economical.
• It is easy to use and control.
• It is compatible with a wide range of plastic materials.

However, AC 3000 also has some disadvantages, including:

• It can produce harmful fumes during decomposition.
• It can be explosive in case of overheating.

AC 3000 is a powerful chemical that must be handled with care. It is important to wear appropriate protective clothing and work in a well-ventilated area when handling this blowing agent.

Applications

AC 3000 is used in a wide variety of applications, including:

• Construction: AC 3000 is used in the production of insulation foams, pipe insulation, and roofing materials.
• Packaging: AC 3000 is used in the production of foam packaging materials, such as foam peanuts and foam sheets.
• Automotive: AC 3000 is used in the production of foam seats, foam dashboards, and foam bumpers.
• Footwear: AC 3000 is used in the production of foam soles, foam heels, and foam insoles.

Safety precautions

When handling AC 3000, it is important to take the following safety precautions:

• Wear appropriate protective clothing, including gloves, goggles, and a respirator.
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
• Do not overheat.

In case of contact with eyes or skin, flush the affected area with water for at least 15 minutes. If inhaled, move the victim to fresh air and seek medical attention.
