Abstract:
A process for the manufacture of foams by heating polymers containing polymerized units of esters of ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable acids having three or four carbon atoms with tert-butanol at elevated temperatures wherein a pH of from 2.0 to 0.1 is set up in aqueous systems of the polymers, the water is evaporated and the residue is heated to temperatures above the decomposition temperature of the carboxylic esters.

Abstract:
Production of flexible expanded moldings from olefin polymers by heating a mixture comprising an olefin polymer, a peroxide and a solid expanding agent in a mold, which is gastight when closed and is filled with a volume of said mixture equal to from 95% to 100% of its capacity, to a temperature above the softening point of the olefin polymer and above the decomposition temperature of the peroxide and of the expanding agent, starting to release the pressure in the mold to atmospheric pressure, immediately increasing the volume of the mold to from 3 to 35 times the volume of the expansible melt within from 0.1 to 20 seconds and then cooling the expanded molding. The moldings are used as thermal and sound insulating materials and as upholstery padding.

PRODUCTION OF FLEXIBLE AND RESILIENT FOAMED PLASTICS BY FOAMING A VULCANIZABLE LATEX, MIXING THE FOAMED PRODUCT WITH EXPANDED PARTICLES OF AN OLEFIN POLYMER, FILLING THE MIXTURE INTO A MOLD, HEATING THE MIXTURE THEREIN TO A TEMPERATURE OF FROM 70* TO 150* C., REMOVING THE FLEXIBLE AND RESILIENT FOAM THEREFROM AND DRYING SAID FOAM. THE FLEXIBLE AND RESILIENT FOAMED PLASTICS ARE USED AS UPHOLSTERY PADDING, FOR THERMAL INSULATION AND AS SHOCKABSORBING MATERIALS.
Abstract:
Procedure for obtaining combined soft-elastic cellular plastics, by expansion, in a mold provided with a movable cover, of a reaction mixture of A) Foamed soft-elastic plastic particles of olefinic polymers with an approximate particle size of 3 to 50 mm and B) a foamable mixture of polyisocyanates, polyols, water, catalyst and, if necessary, other auxiliary agents for the production of polyurethane cellular plastics, characterized in that a component of the foamable mixture (33) is distributed on the plastic particles (A) Foamed soft-elastic, with a smooth surface and bevelled edges and whose apparent weight is between 5 and 100 g/liter, the remaining components of the foamable mixture (B) are introduced into the mold and covered with a layer of the prepared foamed soft-elastic plastic particles, after which, by turning the mold approximately 180 °, the foamable mixture (B) is brought into contact with the prepared foamed soft-elastic plastic particles so that, when they are subsequently formed foam, formed between the foamed soft-elastic plastic particles (A) a polyurethane foam plastic in which the soft-elastic plastic particles (A) are included foamed.

Abstract:
Heat-insulating compositions are made by mixing porous plastic particles with an inorganic binder consisting of a suspension of water-containing particles of alkali metal silicate and inorganic fillers in an aqueous solution of an alkali metal silicate, and solidifying at a temperature above >0 DEG C. but below that at which the plastic sinters. Solidification can be assisted by extracting water down to a content of 20%, by treatment with carbon dioxide, or by the application of pressure. The porous plastic may be polyurethane, polystyrene, copolymers of styrene and acrylonitrile, acrylic acid, or butadiene, vinyl chloride, or copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinylidene chloride. Flame retardants such as inorganic halogen compounds or mixtures of chloroparaffins and antimony trioxide may be included. The alkali metal silicate powder is preferably sodium silicate containing 16-20% water and having an Na2O/SiO2 ratio of 1:2.0 to 1:4.0. The solution is of 15-60 DEG Be1 concentration, and the total water content varies between 25 and 75% of the weight of the silicate. Magnesia, talc, calcium carbonate, powdered asbestos, glass, quartz, zinc carbonate, sodium silicofluoride, or silica gel can be used as fillers in the ratio of 1:1 to 4:1 relative to the anhydrous silicate.
