SAFOAM FPN3-40 is commonly used to create a fine cell structure for medium and low-density foam applications. SAFOAM FPN3-40 can be used in various applications in conjunction with gas counter-pressure and gas assist molding technologies. The most common application is in low-density polystyrene foam extrusion for very smooth surfaces.
SAFOAM FPN3-40 offers the following benefits:
Creates a standard closed-cell foam structure
Improves melt flow & dispersion in thermoplastics
Improves melt strength
In-line paintable
Improves cycle time in injection molding
Increases extrusion output rate
Achieves significant weight reduction
Creates white foams
Enhances surface appearance
Eliminates pin holes
FDA approved – safe for food contact
pH balanced and buffered formula
Improves process economics
Reduces VOC's of direct gas polystyrene extrusion
Improves post-expansion in direct gas polystyrene
Improves flex and elongation and reduces brittleness
FPN3-40 is compatible with a variety of resins mainly PS, ABS, HIPS, and PP. Request your sample today and speak with our technical department on running procedures.
