We'd like to know whether

1)Can we use Foaming agents to reduce the weight of PE based Products with Compression Molding Process
2)Are there any Pressure/Temperature Limitations to using Foaming Agents
3)Are there any dry type foaming agents (Masterbatch type) that can be used as a dry mix with the raw material???

Thanks

I would think it difficult to produce a nice surface using foaming agents in compression molding.
