Used primarily as a blowing agent in polymer processing, this chemical decomposes upon heating to release nitrogen gas, creating porous structures in foamed plastics. It is especially effective in the production of expanded polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), and rubber products, where controlled cell formation is critical. Its decomposition temperature makes it suitable for medium-temperature processing applications. Additionally, it acts as a crosslinking aid in some elastomer systems, improving material resilience and thermal stability. Due to its solubility in certain organic matrices, it disperses evenly in polymer blends, ensuring uniform foaming and consistent product density.
