    Abstract: A dispersion of styrene-acrylonitrile graft copolymer on a rubber-elastic polymer and a pptnt. are introduced into the pptn. zone of a tubular reactor comprising a pptn. zone, a sintering zone and a discharge zone. The reactor contains rotating supply- and mixer-units and its length: dia. ratio is 10:50. The tempo. is 20-150 degrees C in pptn. zone, 80-240 degrees C in sintering zone and o0-180 degrees C in discharge zone, provided that in sintering zone the temp. is kept at 30-90 degrees C above the temp. in pptn. zone and in discharge zone, the temp. is kept at 30-120 degrees C below the temp. in sintering zone. Average polymer dwelling time in reactor is 0.5-10 mins. Dwelling time in each of pptn.-, sintering- and discharge zone is 1/5 to 1/2 of total dwelling times and the dwelling times in the zone add up to 1. The pressure in pptn. - and sintering-zones corresponds to the liq. phase vapour pressure at the prevailing temp. The total liq. and polymer phase vol. is 10-100% of the free reactor vol. Finally, the liq. phase and sintered polymer mixt. is discharged through the discharge zone. The particles obtd. are used as additives to improve the toughness of styrene-acrylonitrile polymers. The polymer dispersion is self-sealing so that sintering zone pressure can lie above surrounding pressure without the need for a pressure-valve.

    Abstract: Parent Patent discloses the continuous prepn. of foamed profiles, having thickness 1-200 mm, by (A) homogenising a mixt. contg. (a) an olefin polymer, (b) 1-30 wt. % solid organic blowing agent, decomposing on heating to generate inorganic gases, (c) 0.1-10 wt. % organic peroxide and opt. (d) 0.1-10 wt. % foaming auxiliaries, crosslinking promoters and standard additives; (B) crosslinking and foaming the olefin polymer in a foaming zone, at 160-280 degrees C; and (C) extruding the foam from foaming zone, with cooling and solidifying. In foaming zone, pressure is 5-150 bar. Ratio of foaming zone length: max. thickness is 100-2000:1. The improvement comprises applying an additional organic peroxide, c', to the surface of the homogenised mixt. of (A) before entering into foaming zone. c' is pref present at 0.001-0.1 wt. % w.r.t. (a+b+c+d)mixt. Peroxide c' is pref. added together with a lubricant, opt. contg. a solubiliser, e.g. a lower alcohol, for c'. The stronger outer skin allows the prepn. of extrudable foamed profiles having a lower gel content, e.g. 10-30 wt. %.
