Amco FP-40

About this product

FP-40 is a pellet concentrate of an endothermic (heat absorbing) chemical nucleating and foaming agent. It is commonly used in injection molding to reduce machine energy, to eliminate sink marks, improve cycle time, reduce warp and for minor weight reduction. In extrusion it is used to create fine cellular structure and improve throughput in medium density extrudates. In low density application utilizing physical gas, FP-40 is used as a nucleating agent to create higher closed-cell content to improve surface quality and to reduce VOC emissions.
