Azodicarboxylic Acid Diamide

Ampacet claims that it has been able to lower the range of trigger temperatures over which azodicarbonamide masterbatches work, from the usual 190-205 °C down to 170-200 °C. Bayer sells a modified azodicarboxylic acid diamide-based blowing agent called Porofor ADC/Z-C2 for foaming crosslinked polyethylene. It is claimed to allow the manufacture of lower density foams at conventional oven temperatures, with shorter production cycles than standard ADC diamides.
