Overview about AZOTE®
AZOTE is high quality foams with special expansion process of polyethylene resin.
Polyethylene is very historical material that was invented in 1933, also it is the most familiar dissolved in the life In modern times. AZOTE® uses 2 types of different characteristics polyethylene resin.
(1) Low-density polyethylene
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is used as a general purpose polyethylene foam. The characteristics of LDPE are a bulk density material has excellent impact resistance, cold resistance, chemical resistance, water resistance, low electrical properties in high soft resin because it has a long side chain
(2) High-density polyethylene
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) foaming process is difficult in general method of chemical foaming. LDPE according to the characteristics of impact resistance, cold resistance, chemical resistance, water resistance, etc., High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a rigid material.
Compared to conventional polyethylene foam, it can be obtained foam with stiffness.
AZOTE® series product range is apparent density from 15kg/m3 up to 45kg/m3.
It is separated into different types as follows.
- General type(LD-15、LD-45)
- High strength and high load type(HD-30、HD-80)
- Flame-retardant type(LD-24FR、LD-33FM)
- Antistatic / conductive type(LD-30SD)
The basic color is black and white. Only to LD-33, there are seven-color white, black, gray, red, blue, green, and yellow.
