Used in injection molding to reduce machine energy, to eliminate sink marks, improves cycle time, reduces warp and for minor weight reduction. In extrusion it is used to create a cellular structure and improve throughput in medium density extrudates. Recommended for ABS, PVC, HIPS, TPE and Elastomer based thermoplastics. Recommended dosage of Safoam® AP-40 is 0.5-2.0%. It complies with FDA good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) 21 C.F.R. Part 110.
