Azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) is marketed under the brand name Vazo™ 64G of  The Chemours Company, USA. It is a widely used free radical initiator. 
Polymer foams are generally created by injecting a gas called a blowing agent inside a molten thermoplastic or thermoset resin and cooling the resin below its melting point to trap the gas bubbles. This blowing agent is commonly a volatile liquid that evaporates upon heating to create foam.
