摘要:
The invention concerns a process for preparing foamed plastics, wherein a liquid foaming agent composition containing carbon dioxide liquefied under pressure is used. In addition to the carbon dioxide liquefied under pressure, all conventional liquid physical foaming agents such as alcohols, aliphatic or cyclical hydrocarbons, halogenous hydrocarbons or halogenous ethers can be used. The process is suitable in particular for preparing foamed polyethylene, polystyrene or polyurethane plastics. Foaming agent compositions containing carbon dioxide liquefied under pressure are also suitable for producing single or multi-component polyurethane foamed materials. In addition to the carbon dioxide liquefied under pressure all conventional liquid physical foaming agents such as ethers, ketones, aliphatic or cyclical hydrocarbons, halogenous hydrocarbons or halogenous ethers can be used. The invention further concerns a process for preparing these foaming agent compositions.

Disclosed is a method for producing a foamed granulate, wherein a thermoplastic synthetic material is placed in an extruder, the synthetic material is melted, a pressurized expanding agent is fed through one or several injection nozzles, the molten material enriched with the expanding medium is foamed as it exits through a perforated plate arranged at the outlet of the extruder and is granulated by a cutting device arranged behind the perforated plate. Also disclosed is a device for implementing the method and the foamed granulate. The invention is characterized in that the molten material is cooled in a controlled manner as it comes out of the perforated plate and exits directly into a flowing cooling medium, in that the temperature of the molten material and the temperature and pressure of the cooling medium are regulated in such a way that once the molten material exits the perforated plate, the surface of the molten material is directly hardened into a closed film with a smooth surface having a thickness that ranges from 10 to 500 νm, preferably 20 to 200 νm, whereupon the molten material is foamed and a granulate with a rounded surface and a bulk density of 10 to 600 g/l is formed. A semi-spherical granulate with a smooth surface is thus obtained.

The invention relates to expanded porous thermoplastic polymer membranes which are characterised by a proportion of at least 80 % open cells and a pore volume of at least 75 %. The invention also relates to a method and a device for producing said membranes. The membranes can be used for microfiltration and macrofiltration of fluids in industry, laboratories and protection of the environment. According to the inventive method, a polymer melt is conveyed through an extruder under pressure, whereby it is loaded in an injection stage with cell builders with different diffusion rates in comparison with said polymer melt, and it is pressed through a die to form a membrane. In an additional mixing step which occurs upstream from the die, the temperature of the single-phase melt is reduced to a temperature which is lower than the original processing temperature and/or the pressure thereof is increased. The cell builders enable the polymer melt to be expanded when it is passed through the die to form a predominantly open cell structure.

摘要:
A closed cell, rigid, polymer foam comprising the reaction product of a polyisocyanate and an isocyanate-reactive compound in the presence of (a) a foaming agent, (b) at least about 2 percent by weight of carbon black, based on the weight of the polymer in the foam, and (c) a capped polyoxyalkylene compound which helps bring about a uniform dispersion of the carbon black throughout the foam so that the aged k-factor of the foam is below the aged k-factor of the corresponding unfilled foam.
摘要:
A method of producing a polyurethane foam comprising the steps of dissolving rapidly and substantially completely a non-condensible non-reactive gas in a liquid isocyanate component or a liquid polyol component or both while the isocyanate and polyol components are maintained separate from one another, while controlling the flow of the non-reactive gas to maintain a predetermined dissolved gas to liquid ratio, and while maintaining the component in which the nucleating agent is being dissolved under pressure sufficient to maintain the gas in solution and to hold substantially constant the dissolved gas to liquid ratio and mixing the previously separated isocyanate and polyol components together while reducing the pressure to nucleate the dissolved gas in the isocyanate and polyol components and while impinging liquid streams of the composition together thereby enhancing mixing and permitting the mixture to foam so as to form a fine celled polyurethane foam. An apparatus for producing the same is also provided.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing polyurethane foams comprising the steps of mixing a polyol and an organic isocyanate without casuing them to substantially react each other thereby to obtain a nonreacted mixture, mixing the nonreacted mixture with a foaming agent, a catalyst, a foam stabilizer and other necessary additires such as a pigment, a fire retardant and a filler, and injecting the resultant mixture to foam and crosslink. The polylol and the organic isocyanate may be preliminarily mixed with a gas such as an inert gas or air. The nonreacted mixture containing the polyol and organic isocyanate may be subjected to again at a temperature of -10to 25°C for 12 to 27 hours.
