Products by Reedy Chemical Foam

Foam extrusion is a complex process with many interrelated variables. As a continuous, dynamic process, a change in any one variable has a ripple effect that extends to the final product. Understanding the variables and learning how to control them is the best route to producing a high quality...

SAFOAM®is used in the production of injection molded parts requiring a cellular structure and for the elimination of sink marks and stress in solid parts. SAFOAM® is used in all types of injection molding equipment, including low and high pressure specialized structural foam machines, and...

SAFOAM® can be used in blow-molding. Weight reductions of 5-15% have been achieved. Specific grades depend on the resin(s) used. Blow molding is a two-stage process. A hot tube, or parison, is extruded and then molded by inflation within a mold. The general principles for successful extrusion apply...

SAFOAM®can be used in compounding. At low levels, SAFOAM® powders are ideal for compounding materials. Key benefits include: Smoother surfaces Density reduction Improved bubble stability Slowed moisture absorption Improved CO2 solubility rate Extended shelf life Excellent dispersion

When foaming to a medium density in rotational molding, it is very important to use proper resins and to achieve the optimum temperature. All blowing agents decompose over a specific temperature range. In rotational molding, the resins must be fully melted and uniformly dispersed before reaching...

Used to remove degradation by-products, increase compatibility of composite fillers & additives and extend product lifetime. Excellent PVC co-stabilizer,; combats FR discoloration in engineering resins.

Line of melt-strength enhancers form an ionic bond to increase viscosity in PE, PP virgin resins. Chain extenders for PET & Nylon create a physical bond and are ideal for recycled post-consumer and post-industrial regrind.

Surface modifiers for enhanced wetting; reduced friction; water repellency; and for open-cell foam. Prevents electrostatic build-up in Nylon, PE, PS, etc.

Slip additive for polyolefins. Functions by migrating to the surface where it exerts a lubricating effect. It provides excellent slip properties in typical molding applications for easy part removal.
