摘要:
Foam structures such as applicator pads for cleaning and other purposes are provided, that are formed from emulsified propellant compositions including a synthetic polymer in solution in a low boiling propellant and dispersed or emulsified in an organic liquid as the continuous phase. Such compositions quickly form foamed structures containing open and/or closed cells at atmospheric temperature and pressure. The structures and propellant compositions can include a material which is deposited in the pores and/or cells of the structure together wit the organic liquid as the structure is formed, and which can be removed from the structure when desired. These structures are particularly suitable for use as applicator pads having a porous surface with a high proportion of open area, with a material such as a cosmetic, pharmaceutical, detergent, anti-microbial agent or abrasive which is contained in the pores thereof, and which cna be removed. The emulsified propellant compositions are stored in closed containers capable of withstanding an internal pressure sufficient to keep the propellant in the liquid phase at atmospheric temperature, and when the composition is withdrawn from the container to atmospheric pressure, the propellant volatilizes rpaidly, and the foamed structure is formed within a few seconds.

Structures such as applicator pads for cleaning and other purposes are provided, that are formed from propellant compositions including a synthetic resin in solution in a low boiling propellant. Such compositions quickly form foamed structures containing open and/or closed cells at atmospheric temperature and pressure. The structures and propellant compositions include material which is deposited in the pores and/or walls of the structure as the structure is formed, and which can be remved from the structure when desired. These structures are particularly suitable for use as applicator pads for materials such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, detergents, antimicrobial agents and abrasives. A process also is provided for forming foamed structures from propellant compositions including a synthetic resin, controlling the proportion of open cells and/or closed cells. The propellant compositions are stored in closed containers capable of withstanding an internal pressure sufficient to keep the propellant in the liquid phase at atmospheric temperature, and when the composition is withdrawn from the container to atmospheric pressure, the propellant volatilizes rapidly, and the foamed structure is formed within a few seconds.

Foam structures such as applicator pads for cleaning and other purposes are provided, that are formed from emulsified propellant compositions including a synthetic polymer in solution in a low boiling propellant and dispersed in an oil-in-water emulsion. Such compositions quickly form foamed structures containing open and/or closed cells at atmospheric temperature and pressure. The structures and propellant compositions include a material which is deposited in the pores and/or cells of the structure as the structure is formed, and which can be removed from the structure when desired.
