The use of foaming technology in plastic processing can reduce the weight of the product, but the traditional foaming process uses petroleum gas (such as butane, pentane) as the foaming agent. , The demand for safe and stable new foaming agents continues to expand. Under normal conditions, the amount of carbon dioxide or nitrogen dissolved in the molten resin is very small, which is not enough for foaming. The required process conditions, with the cooperation of perfect process technology and equipment, the supercritical state gas achieves the perfect effect of microcellular foaming.
In the injection molding, extrusion and blow molding processes, supercritical carbon dioxide or nitrogen gas is first injected into a special plasticizing device, so that the gas and the molten raw material are fully and uniformly mixed/diffused to form a single-phase mixed sol:
The sol is introduced into the mold cavity or die, so that the mixed sol produces a huge pressure drop, so that a large number of bubble nuclei are formed inside it; A microcellular foamed plastic product is obtained.
Melt and plasticize resin under predetermined back pressure, inject SCF N2 or CO2 into molten resin quantitatively; form a homogeneous solution after further mixing/diffusion, and maintain this state before entering the mold cavity; inject into the cavity, Through the thermodynamic instability during the injection process, a large number of bubble nuclei are instantaneously formed; during the filling and cooling process, the bubbles grow and are fixed to obtain a microcellular foamed product.
