Abstract:
Disclosed are expandable thermoplastic polymer particles composed of a polyphase polymer mixture that contains a blowing agent and has at least one continuous thermoplastic polymer phase, within which at least two different dispersed phases P1 and P2 are distributed. Also disclosed are methods for producing said particles and the use thereof for making elastic molded particle foam articles.
Abstract:
The invention relates to elastic particle foam materials and to a method for producing particle foam materials found by sintering a mixture comprising foam material particles P1 and P2 from differing thermoplastic polymers or polymer mixtures, wherein the foam material particles P1 are obtained by pre-expanding expandable, thermoplastic polymer particles, comprising A) 45 to 97.9 weight percent of a styrene polymer, B1) 1 to 45 weight percent of a polyolefine having a melting point in the range from 105 to 140°C, B2) 0 to 25 weight percent of a polyolefine having a melting point under 105°C, C1) 0.1 to 25 weight percent of a styrene butadiene or styrene-isoprene-block copolymer, C2) 0.0 to 10 weight percent of a styrene-ethylene-butylene-block copolymer, D) 1 to 15 weight percent of a propellant, E) 0 to 5 weight percent of a nucleating agent, wherein the sum of A) through E) results in 100 weight percent.
