    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. %.

    Abstract: A tube has its walls made up from layers of fibrous sheets impregnated with a thermoplastic (I). Pref. the (I) impregnated sheets are wound, at a temp. > m.pt. of (I), around an internal former as one or more overlapping layers, then compressed at 5-300N/cm using a tension tape made of heat-stable films. Opt. a preformed strip of hard foam is introduced between the layers and an endless glass fibre may be wound on simultaneously. The tubes are made quickly and easily and have good and uniform qualities esp. strength. Typical plastics are polyethylene, polypropylene, styrene (co)polymers, PVC etc, and the fabric is e.g. a mat, fleece, or web of glass-, C- plastics or asbestos-fibres coated with usual polymeric binders.
