What Is Azodicarbonamide and Why Does It Matter? Azodicarbonamide (ADA, CAS 123-77-3) is a yellow-to-orange crystalline powder that serves as both a powerful chemical blowing agent in plastics and rubber manufacturing, and a dough conditioner in the food industry. Upon thermal decomposition, ADA releases gas, enabling the creation of lightweight, durable, and flexible foamed materials used extensively in construction insulation, packaging, automotive components, and footwear. The global Azodicarbonamide market has been experiencing steady growth, driven by rising demand for lightweight materials across industries. The market was valued at approximately USD 1.4 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2.3 billion by 2031, growing at a compound annual growth…
