    Abstract: A process for the production of expanded foam beads that are prepared from pellets comprising polyester mixture comprising a) from 50 to 99% by weight, based on components a and b, of a biodegradable polyester based on aliphatic, or a mixture of aliphatic and aromatic, dicarboxylic acids and an aliphatic diol, and b) from 1 to 50% by weight, based on components a and b, of polylactic acid, the process comprising the following steps: (i) providing an aqueous suspension of the polyester pellets, (ii) impregnating the pellets in the suspension of step (i) with at least one physical or chemical blowing agent to provide blowing-agent-loaded pellets in suspension, wherein the impregnation of the at least one blowing agent includes heating the mixture to a depressurization temperature IMT with stirring, and (iii) depressurizing the suspension obtained in step (ii) to provide the expanded foam beads. The at least one blowing agent is added to the suspension in step (i), or in step (ii) during the heating phase, or immediately after the heating phase, and following the heating of step (ii), the suspension is maintained at a temperature in the range from IMT minus 5° C. to IMT plus 2° C. for a period of 3 to 100 minutes. The invention further relates to expanded foam beads obtained by the process, and to the production of moldings from the expanded foam beads.

    Abstract: A process for producing expanded foam beads from pellets comprising at least one biodegradable polyester. The process comprises (i) producing a suspension comprising pellets in an aqueous suspension medium, (ii) impregnating the pellets present in the suspension from step (i) with at least one physical blowing agent by heating the pellet suspension to a depressurization temperature IMT, with stirring, to provide pellets laden with blowing agent in the suspension medium, and (iii) depressurizing the suspension obtained in step (ii) and cooling the depressurized suspension with a liquid aqueous coolant, in order to obtain the expanded foam beads. The blowing agent can be added in step I, or in step ii during the heating phase or following the heating phase. Following the heating phase, the suspension is maintained at a temperature in the range from IMT minus 5° C. to IMT plus 2° C. for 3 to 100 minutes, and the ratio of aqueous coolant to suspension medium is at least 0.3. The invention further relates to expanded foam beads obtained by the process and to moldings that are produced from the expanded foam beads.
