SEBS TPE Foaming Compounds

TOP-PELLET® FO-Series

Lightweight Thermoplastic Elastomers and High Melt Strength Foaming-Grade TPE Compounds

The TOP-PELLET® SEBS TPE Foaming Compound Series is specifically engineered for extrusion, injection, and compression foaming processes that demand ultra-lightweight performance, low-density molded parts, and premium surface quality. These compounds feature exceptional melt strength and outstanding microcellular foam stability, delivering superior gas retention during both physical foaming processes (such as supercritical N₂/CO₂) and chemical foaming. The result is a uniformly distributed closed-cell foam structure that effectively prevents cell rupture and structural collapse.

To meet increasingly stringent global environmental and regulatory requirements for foaming agents, DING JI POLYMER offers two flexible supply options. Processors may purchase high-purity, highly compatible foaming base compounds and incorporate their preferred blowing agents during production, or select fully integrated custom-compounded formulations pre-blended with high-performance foaming systems tailored to specific end-use requirements. All base compounds comply with RoHS and REACH standards, feature low-odor and non-blooming processing characteristics, and enable finished products to be 100% recyclable. This provides downstream manufacturers with a reliable material solution for achieving lightweight designs, cost reduction, and sustainable regulatory compliance.

Features
  • Uniform Fine-Cell Foam Structure: Outstanding viscoelastic properties stabilize gas during expansion, creating a dense and uniform closed-cell microcellular structure with excellent resilience in the finished product.
  • Smooth Surface Free of Flow Marks: Excellent material flow characteristics effectively minimize common foaming defects such as surface sink marks and gas streaks, resulting in a refined matte finish with a premium tactile feel.
  • Ultra-Lightweight Performance with Cost Savings: Significantly reduces part density and material consumption while maintaining essential tensile strength, tear resistance, and abrasion resistance.
  • Flexible Supply Options: Available as high-purity foaming base compounds for processors who prefer to incorporate blowing agents in-house, or as fully integrated custom-compounded formulations professionally tailored by DING JI POLYMER.
  • Compliant with Global Green Supply Chain Requirements: All base compounds comply with RoHS and REACH standards, while integrated formulations can be customized with non-SVHC environmentally compliant foaming systems to meet specific regulatory and sustainability requirements.
