Products Introduction

Dongjin Innochem’s foaming agents are integrated into plastics and rubber to create fine cellular structures through thermal decomposition or expansion under specific temperature, pressure, and time conditions. These micro-cellular structures impart essential properties such as lightweighting, thermal insulation, soundproofing, high elasticity, and shock absorption. Consequently, our products are widely utilized in various sectors, including construction and automotive interiors, footwear, wallpaper, flooring, packaging, and life jackets. Furthermore, they contribute to cost-efficiency by reducing the consumption of primary raw materials like plastic and rubber. Additionally, our line of foaming accelerators, classified into Urea-based and Zinc-based, the decomposition of chemical foaming agents. This not only enhances overall productivity but also significantly lowers energy consumption during the manufacturing process.

Since 1967, Dongjin Innochem has been a premier manufacturer and supplier of foaming agents. Through continuous R&D and the launch of innovative products, we have secured world-class technology and expertise in the industry.UNICELL is the exclusive brand name for Dongjin Innochem’s chemical foaming agents and accelerators.

    It is particularly well-suited for shoe sole applications and is widely used in EVA and rubber compounds.
  • img

    UNICELL-MT (Master Batch)
    Unicell masterbatch products are developed as a masterbatch of foaming agent for the expansion of EVA/LDPE resins.
    They consist of EVA/LDPE resins and a foaming agent.
  • img

    UNICELL-AD Series
    AD series is widely used as an economical foaming agent for thermoplastics and rubbers.
    It consistently produces white cellular materials and reduces curing time, thereby saving energy and costs.
  • img

    UNICELL-G Series
    G series is widely recognized as one of the longest-established and most cost-effective foaming agents for plastics and rubbers.
    It offers non-staining and non-discoloring properties.
  • img

    UNICELL-OH Series
    OH series is an outstanding non-staining, non-discoloring, nitrogen-releasing foaming agent for the production of cellular rubbers and plastics.
    It produces ammonia-free gas upon thermal decomposition.
  • img

    UNICELL-C Series
    C series, a group of inorganic compounds, is well known as an effective foaming and nucleating agent for plastics.
    It can also be used in food-contact applications as an eco-friendly foaming agent.
  • img

    UNICELL-MS Series
    MS series consists of thermally expandable microspheres. This unexpanded type is composed of a polymeric shell and a volatile core, with particle sizes ranging from 10 to 100 µm, and is applicable to various types of plastics and rubbers.
  • img

    UNICELL-HMS Series
    HMS series consists of hollow expanded microspheres used as ultralight fillers and is available in both wet and dry types.
  • img

    UNICELL-DWP Series
    DWP series has been specially designed for use in expanded PVC wall coverings. In addition to the inherent advantages of solid vinyl wall coverings, it enables in-depth applications, improves thermal insulation, and reduces weight, resulting in savings in raw materials. It also produces whiter foams.

    UNICELL-ECO-Friendly Foaming Agents
    Our Foaming Agent Research Institute has been continuously researching and developing eco-friendly foaming agents to create both economic and social value. In addition, we are actively developing ADCA-based foaming agents that reduce trace amounts of formamide and ammonia released during the decomposition of conventional ADCA foaming agents.
  • UNICELL-DL & DK Series
    DL series is an azodicarbonamide based foaming agent with the fastest decomposition rate, making it suitable for processes such as PVC casting.
    DK series is an excellent product with high whiteness, making it suitable for EVA and rubber processes.
