Chemical blowing agents are
organic or inorganic additives used in the manufacture of polymeric foams. The
chemical blowing agents in our range are stable under moderate storage
conditions up to 20°C, butdecompose at elevated temperatures during the processing of polymers to
generate gas which forms a foam structure in the polymer matrix. One of the
most efficient chemical blowing agents is azodicarbonamide.
The
outstanding features of polymeric foams are weight reduction, the lower amount
of polymer which has to be used, resulting in a more economical use of energy
and lower cost, and improved sound and heat insulation.
Azodicarbonamide,
or azobisformamide, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C2H4O2N4.
It is a yellow to orange red, odorless, crystalline powder. As a food additive,
it is known by the E number E927
Azodicarbonamide
is used in the American food industry as a food additive, a flour bleaching agent
and improving agent. It reacts with moist flour as an oxidizing agent. The main
reaction product is biurea, a derivative of urea, which is stable during
baking. Secondary reaction products include semicarbazide and ethyl carbamate.
The United States permits the use of azodicarbonamide at levels up to 45 ppm.
In Australia[citation needed] and Europe the use of azodicarbonamide as a food additive is banned.
Other
uses
The
principal use of azodicarbonamide is in the production of foamed plastics as an
additive. The thermal decomposition of azodicarbonamide results in the
evolution of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and ammonia gases,
which are trapped in the polymer as bubbles to form a foamed article.
Azodicarbonamide
as used in plastics, synthetic leather and other uses can be pure or modified.
This is important because modification affects the reaction temperatures. Pure
azodicarbonamide generally reacts around 200 °C, but there are some products
that the reaction temperature must be lower, depending on the application. In
the plastic, leather and other industries, modified azodicarbonamide (average
decomposition temperature 170 °C) contains additives that accelerate the
reaction or react at lower temperatures.
Azodicarbonamide
as a blowing agent in plastics has been banned in Europe since August 2005 for
the manufacture of plastic articles that are intended to come into direct
contact with food.

GENERAL
DESCRIPTION:
Azo
is the prefix for the group -N=N- or a combining form of azote which share the
core azobenzene structure. Azo compounds have a general molecular formula of
R-N=N-R', where R is aryl, heteroaryl, -CH=C(OH)- or aliphatic. The extended
delocalization of electrons in the benzene and azo groups forms a conjugated
system absorbing visible frequencies of light. Aromatic groups provide
characteristic colors of red, orange, and yellow. This is the fundamental
structure of azo dyes. Aliphatic azo compounds are unstable and the loss of
nitrogen gas occurs by the simultaneous cleavage of carbon-nitrogen bonds,
resulting in carbon-centered radicals. some aliphatic azo compounds are
utilized as radical initiators. Azobisisobutyronitrile is a typical initiator
of free radical reactions for the production of polymer (polyvinyl chloride,
polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl alcohol and synthetic fibers) and as a blowing
agent for plastics and elastomers.
Azodicarbonamide,
releasing nitrogen gas, is a general foaming agent for rubbers and plastics such
as PVC, EVA, polyolefin, polystyrene products. (Its temperature of
decomposition is 205 - 215 C). Food grade of Azodicarbonamide is used as a
flour aging and bleaching ingredient in cereal flours and dough conditioner in
baking bread. It reacts with moist flour as an oxidizing agent.
Azodicarbonamide acts as a hydrogen acceptor, converting to biurea. The United
States allows azodicarbonamide to be added to flour at levels up to 45 ppm. Use
of azodicarbonamide as a food additive is banned in Australia and in Europe.
The pharma grade of Azodicarbonamide molecule is used as an Anti-HIV agent,
Anti-Infective Agent, Anti-Retroviral Agent, Antiviral Agent, Immunologic
Factor, Immunosuppressive Agent.
DESCRIPTION
OF BLOWING AGENT
Blowing
agents, also called foaming agents, can be classified as Physical and Chemical
Blowing Agents. Physical blowing agents are not under chemical changes during
processing. Physical blowing agents are in forms of liquid or compressed gas
which will transfer state into gases or low boiling liquid during processing
causing resins into cellular structure. Chemical Blowing Agents are mainly
solid form of hydrazine derivatives include Azodicarbonamide;
p,p'-Oxybis(benzenesulfonyl hydrazide); 5-Phenyltetrazole; p-Toluene sulfonyl
semicarbazide; Trihydrazine Triazine; They commonly release gases such as
nitrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide or ammonia. But ammonia is not
desirable as it effects on degrade of resins. There are nonazo blowing agents
releasing carbon dioxide such as sodium borohydride.
Safety
In
the United States, azodicarbonamide has generally recognized as safe (GRAS)
status and is allowed to be added to flour at levels up to 45 ppm.
In
the UK, the Health and Safety Executive has identified azodicarbonamide as a
respiratory sensitizer (a possible cause of asthma) and determined that
products should be labeled with "May cause sensitisation by inhalation.
Toxicological
studies of the reactions of azodicarbonamide show that it is rapidly converted
in dough to biurea, which is a stable compound not decomposed upon cooking Product Description
