There is a lot of difference in processing temperature of the

polymer and the foaming agent due to which suitable results

are not achieved.

In a masterbatch , certain additives are added to lower the

decomposition temperature of the foaming agent making it

closer to melting point of the polymer and delivering excellent

results. Moreover the foaming agent is uniformly dispersed in

masterbatch as a result the cell structure is fine and uniform

Bases of Comparison Rotofoam Masterbatch FoamingAgent

Structure formation Uniformity in structure Difficult or sometimes not

possible to get uniformity in

structure.

Thickness and cell structure Getting more thickness and

fine cell structure

Less thickness and cell

structure is not good ascompare to rotofoam

masterbatch.

Processibility Better Processibility Much difficult

Impact Strength Excellent impact strength Poor impact strength

Thermal Insulation Excellent thermal insulation Poor thermal insulation
