Kickers are used to accelerate the foaming process in plastic materials, particularly in PVC. Key features include their ability to improve foam uniformity, enhance mechanical properties, and maintain the aesthetic quality of the material. Kickers are commonly used in applications such as flooring, wall coverings, and automotive interiors.
Alternatives to kickers include traditional heat stabilizers and plasticizers. Sub-types of kickers include rapid and slow kickers.
