Azodicarbonamide (ADC) is a widely used chemical blowing agent known for its high gas yield and controlled decomposition temperature. It is primarily used in the production of foamed plastics and rubber products, including footwear, wire and cable insulation, and synthetic leather. The global production of ADC blowing agents has been stable but gradually rising, driven by increasing demand from the construction, automotive, and packaging sectors. The average global price of ADC has remained within a reasonable range, although prices in North America and Europe tend to be higher than in Asia due to stricter regulatory requirements and higher operating costs. Seasonal demand cycles, especially linked to the footwear and construction sectors, also affect price movements.
