Di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate: The “High-Efficiency Foaming Master” in the Chemical World

In the field of chemical materials, di tert butyl azodicarboxylate (DBAD) is becoming a star product in the foaming process of polymer materials due to its unique chemical properties. As an efficient organic foaming agent, DBAD plays a key role in industries such as plastics, rubber, and coatings, providing new solutions for material lightweighting and performance improvement.
Precision chemistry, efficient decomposition
The molecular structure design of DBAD enables it to decompose accurately when heated to 50-110 ℃, releasing a large amount of nitrogen gas to form a uniform microporous structure. This characteristic is due to the stability of its azo group (- N=N -), which remains inert at room temperature and rapidly activates upon heating, avoiding process runaway caused by premature decomposition. Its decomposition products are only nitrogen and tert butanol, with no harmful residues, in compliance with environmental regulations.
Excellent performance, significant advantages
Controlled foaming: the decomposition temperature range is wide, which can be adapted to different processes such as injection molding and extrusion, so as to ensure the consistency of foam density and reduce the rate of defective products.
Safety and Environmental Protection: The low toxicity ensures safe operation, and the decomposition products are non corrosive, avoiding equipment damage and environmental pollution.
Quality upgrade: The generated microporous structure enhances the mechanical properties of the material, such as impact resistance and thermal insulation, and is widely used in automotive interiors, packaging cushioning, and other fields.
Convenient storage: Strong stability at room temperature, simplified logistics and warehousing management, and reduced enterprise costs.
Widely applicable, with broad prospects
DBAD is particularly suitable for polymer materials such as polyolefins and rubber, and can optimize performance from daily necessities to industrial components such as lightweight building materials and sports equipment. Compared to traditional foaming agents, DBAD stands out for its high efficiency, controllability, and environmental friendliness, helping enterprises enhance their competitiveness.
