This chemical is primarily utilized as a blowing agent in the production of foamed plastics and rubber materials. It decomposes at elevated temperatures to release gases, which create a cellular structure within the polymer matrix, resulting in lightweight and insulating materials. It is particularly effective in applications requiring fine and uniform cell structures, such as in the manufacturing of insulation foams, automotive components, and packaging materials. Additionally, it is valued for its ability to provide controlled expansion and stability during the foaming process, ensuring consistent product quality.
