Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009009252A1] Impregnate polymeric beads containing 100 parts of an alkenyl aromatic polymer, 0.1 to 8 parts of a blowing agent impregnation enhancer selected from a group consisting of saturate aliphatic hydrocarbons having 20 to 60 carbon atoms and ester products of a saturated mono-carboxylic acid having 14 to 20 carbon atoms with an alkyl alcohol having 3 to 5 carbon atoms with 2 to 9 parts of a blowing agent by softening the polymer beads containing the impregnation enhancer to within 40°C of the beads softening temperature and impregnating the beads with blowing agent to prepare an expandable polymer bead. Expand the expandable polymer bead to prepare an expanded polymer bead foam.
