Overview of Azodicarbonamide
Azodicarbonamide is a chemical used in making plastics and rubber. It acts as a blowing and foaming agent, and also helps with curing. This yellow to orange powder releases gas when heated, which helps form even, lightweight structures in these products.
If you don't have a tech experience, Azodicarbonamide is a chemical which aids rubber and plastics grow, allowing them to be light but also strong and elastic. Since it is broken down at a controlled rate and is a good choice to make foamed sheets moulded items, as well as special rubber-based products.
In industrial settings, Azodicarbonamide is often used with other chemicals like Triallyl Cyanurate, Caprolactam, and Polydimethylsiloxane Vinyl Terminated. Together, they help make reliable, high-quality plastic and rubber products.

Applications of Azodicarbonamide
Plastic Foaming Agent
Azodicarbonamide is widely used to make foamed plastics like PVC, polyethylene, and polypropylene. When heated, it produces gas that forms even bubbles, making the plastic lighter and more flexible.
Rubber Compounds & Vulcanization
When it comes to manufacturing rubber, Azodicarbonamide acts as a blowing agent. It assists in creating more foam, and also allows mats, rubber sheets and parts that are molded to expand uniformly.
Specialty Polymers & Adhesives
It is utilized in specific polymer and adhesive systems in which gas production is controlled to ensure porosity and lightweight characteristics.
Industrial Chemical Formulations
Azodicarbonamide is important in special chemical mixes because it breaks down in a predictable way, works well with other curing agents, and helps make plastic and rubber production more efficient.
