_Handbook of Foaming and Blowing Agents_ provides useful guidance to
assist practitioners in the more efficient and effective selection of
foaming methods and blowing agents. The book focuses on the selection
of additives for a diverse range of foaming processes, which can be
enhanced using modern chemical means to improve product quality, speed
up the process, and broaden the range of products that can be produced
using foaming technology.
Foamed polymers have many beneficial properties, including lower
density, high heat and sound insulation, and shock absorbency. Foamed
plastic parts are now a ubiquitous part of everyday life—from food
packaging to seat cushions. As the application of foamed polymers
expands and diversifies, a variety of foaming techniques and equipment
are available to produce very diverse range of products.
Foaming methods are generally established, but very little is known
about the composition of materials to be processed and the additives
to enhance foam products or make the foam production more economical.
The book introduces useful analytical techniques for foaming, and
thoroughly discusses the environmental impact of foaming processes.
* Introduces the fundamental mechanisms of action of blowing agents
and foaming

improve the efficiency of their existing foaming processes
* Enables practitioners to select blowing agents and foaming methods
more effectively, reducing the risk of poor specification
* Introduces useful analytical techniques for foaming
* Discusses the environmental impact of foaming processes
