Enhancing Efficiency, Green Injection Molding - Hydrocerol™ Foaming Agent Empowers Comprehensive Upgrades in Injection Molding Process!

In today's highly competitive rubber and plastic manufacturing sector, the injection molding industry commonly faces multiple pressures to enhance equipment capacity, reduce manufacturing costs, and comply with sustainable development policies. How to optimize production processes while simultaneously achieving capacity expansion and quality upgrades has become a common challenge for the industry. Addressing this pain point, Evonik's Hydrocerol™ chemical foaming agent has created a low-risk, efficient, and cost-reducing new pathway for the injection molding process.

Shorten the molding cycle.

Unlock production capacity potential

Avoid appearance-related risks

Ensure appearance quality

In fields with stringent appearance requirements, such as medical devices, home appliances, and automobiles, conventional foaming may cause bubbles, sink marks, and other defects on the product surface, making it impossible to carry out subsequent painting processes. Hydrocerol™ chemical foaming agents can effectively reduce sink marks and warpage through the coordinated optimization of material formulation and molding processes, thereby meeting consumers’ expectations for the premium appearance quality of high-end products.

In addition, Hydrocerol™ chemical blowing agents do not react chemically with the resin, thereby ensuring that the original chemical properties of the resin remain unaffected and fully guaranteeing the quality reliability of the final product.

Practicing green sustainability

Building a Lightweight Ecosystem

While ensuring efficient production, Hydrocerol™ chemical blowing agents also help companies achieve ESG sustainability goals. With significantly shortened molding cycles, the resulting reduction in production energy consumption can reduce the overall carbon footprint of the entire process by 10%-20%.

In addition, the lightweighting effect achieved through foaming can effectively reduce the amount of raw materials used, saving manufacturers considerable material costs while simultaneously delivering the dual benefits of economic efficiency and lightweight environmental sustainability.

No equipment investment required.

Achieve seamless compatibility

For many companies, introducing a new process often means incurring high equipment modification costs. Another major advantage of Hydrocerol™ chemical blowing agents is their excellent equipment compatibility, allowing companies to avoid any investment in machine upgrades (i.e., zero capital expenditure). In practical applications, the product is effective at an addition level of just 1–3%; as long as the processing temperature range of the existing resin is sufficient to activate the blowing agent, molding can proceed normally.
