CELOGEN® ACTICELL® U
CELOGEN® ACTICELL® U is a chemical blowing agent activator that lowers the decomposition temperatures of CELOGEN® AZ, CELOGEN® OT, and DNPT foaming agents. CELOGEN® ACTICELL® U is a cost-effective activator and accelerator for chemical blowing agents that lower the decomposition temperature of CELOGEN® AZ and OT, allowing the manufacture of cellular goods at lower temperatures.

Overview
CELOGEN® ACTICELL® U is a non-dusting activator and accelerator for CELOGEN® chemical blowing agents. It lowers the decomposition temperature of CELOGEN® AZ and OT, allowing cellular materials to be manufactured at lower temperatures. When used at the normal decomposition temperature for CELOGEN® AZ and OT, ACTICELL® U shows higher productivity in natural and synthetic rubbers. CELOGEN® ACTICELL® U disperses easily and is relatively non-staining and non-discoloring.

Features & Benefits
- Cost-effective activator and accelerator Non-dusting Disperses easily Lowers decomposition temperature of CELOGEN® AZ and OT Relatively non-staining and non-discoloring
Problems Solved
Activator is not working with blowing or foaming agent
Poor or unsuccessful activation for blowing agents in SBR, NBR, and sponge rubber polymer systems
Difficulty with dispersion within the blowing agent formulation
Unable to fill the foam molding conditions
Applications
Recommended dosing:
For butyl and crosslinked polyethylene use, a dose rate equal to the CELOGEN® AZ or OT used
For cellular natural rubber, SBR, NBR, chloroprene rubber uses 50% of the CELOGEN® AZ dose
For EPDM use 25% of the CELOGEN® AZ dose
