RapidRelease is the Dow patented process technology for manufacturing Dow ETHAFOAM extruded polyethylene foam plank. This process technology incorporates a patented CFC- and HCFC-free blowing agent system and an accelerated curing system to deliver several important benefits:
Reduced Explosive Potential
The RapidRelease process reduces flammable and potentially explosive blowing agents within the finished product to trace amounts. This increased safety eliminates special shipping, handling, storage and fabrication considerations.Uniform Cell Structure, Increased Dimensional Stability, Improved Performance
The RapidRelease process and accelerated curing result in uniform cell structure within the foam. Uniform cell structure improves structural and dimensional stability as well as retention of form and surface appearance throughout fabrication and use.
