    摘要: The invention relates to the field of structural reinforcement, sealing, damping, baffling, or the like of elements, preferably of hollow structures or cavities, by means of a thermally expandable composition comprising (i) a polymer component; (ii) azodicarbonamide; and (iii) a metal oxide powder capable of catalyzing thermal decomposition of azodicarbonamide at elevated temperature, wherein at least about 90 wt.-% of particles within the metal oxide powder have a particle size of at most about 200 μm determined by sieve analysis; wherein the weight ratio of the azodicarbonamide to the metal oxide powder is at least about 5.0, preferably at least about 10, more preferably at least about 15, still more preferably at least about 16.50, preferably about 17, and yet more preferably at least about 20; preferably at most about 80; more preferably at most about 70, still more preferably at most about 60, yet more preferably at most about 50, even more preferably at most about 40, most preferably at most about 30. The thermally expandable composition leads to low odor formation and low ammonia emission during and after the foaming process.
