Purpose

Azodicarbonamide, or azodiformamide is mainly used as a blowing agent in the rubber and plastics industry. Blowing agent in especially EVA and PVC.

The process can leave residues of formamide in the material, which is toxic for reproduction. ADCA may decompose into semicarbazide, a suspected carcinogen.

Society and consumers set high demands on companies and their products. The legislation also means that you as an actor must have complete information and control over the chemicals in your product. It is especially important with products for children and goods with skin contact, such as clothes and accessories.

We can help you interpret the legal requirements in REACH and POPs and propose appropriate analyzes.
