Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a blowing agent composition which can give a white expanded injection molding having fine cells by mixing azodicarbonamide with sodium bicarbonate, sodium citrate and zinc oxide. CONSTITUTION:A blowing agent composition comprising azodicarbonamide, sodium bicarbonate, sodium citrate and zinc oxide. Although the amount of the blowing agent composition added when used in injection molding varies with the expansion ratio of the desired foam, it is usually 0.1-3.0 pts.wt. per 100 pts.wt. resin. Since the decomposition temperature of the blowing agent composition is 160-200 deg.C, the molding temperature is desirably 200-250 deg.C. Examples of the resin, which can be molded at this temperature include polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, ABS and 12-nylon.

However, in most blowing agent compositions, the bubbles become coarser when the residence time in the cylinder becomes longer depending on the selection of molding conditions, and therefore the foaming agent compositions have a ratio of 2.5 to 3. Foaming did not occur in thin-walled parts with a thickness of about δmm, and it was not possible to sufficiently eliminate sink marks and warpage in the molded product.

However, among these conventional blowing agent compositions, when a three-component system of azodicarbonamide (hereinafter abbreviated as ADCA), sodium bicarbonate, and monosodium citrate is used, the bubbles become fine even if the residence time is long.
