About Polyurethane Foam Blowing Agents
Foam blowing agents (known as foam expansion agents or foaming agents) play a crucial role by providing a cellular structure to the foamed products. Along with blowing agents, additives, such as nucleating agents and stabilizers, are used for manufacturing of foams. The commonly used manufacturing processes for manufacturing polyurethane foams are extrusion foaming, slab-stock by pouring, and different forms of molding. Based on the process and density requirements of the final product, the blowing agents can be physical or chemical.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global polyurethane foam blowing agents market to grow at a CAGR of 5.94% during the period 2017-2021.
