Expandable polystyrene coatings

Roofiag panels have been made from polyisocyanurate foams, both foam- and felt-reiaforced with glass fiber. PhenoHc resias are used especially for decorative laminates for paneling. The substrate may be fiberboard or a core of expanded polystyrene beads. In one case the beads are coated with phenoHc resia, then expanded ia a mold to form a stmctural foam panel.

Molds for hand lay-up (as well as others such as spray-up, contact molding, thermoforming, and casting) are usually made of TS polyester or epoxy shell set in a cradle made of a material such as steel angle. They can usually be made in-house, on a model of the product that could be made from an inexpensive material that can be shaped or sculpted, such as plaster, balsa wood, or expanded polystyrene, sealed and coated with a release agent.

Following this, the beads are then screened into several bead size fractions corresponding to the various commercial needs and applications. They are then coated to improve both processing characteristics and final performance of the product. Finally, these expandable polystyrene beads are packaged in containers or silos for shipment. 

SHS-GC can also be used for the determination of airborne emission profiles for new and reformulated products for the plastics, adhesives, and coatings in-dustfies as well as for studies related to fogging of semivolatiles and phthalates in the automotive industry. HS-GC was also used for the analysis of foaming agents in expanded polystyrene [977]. 

Polystyrene a tough, white thermoplastic with high insulation power. Used for impregnation of electrical coils, surface coatings, etc. Types available include general purpose or unmodified polystyrene, high impact or toughened polystyrene, expanded polystyrene, or the copolymers SAN and ABS (qv). 

HBCDs are primarily used as additives in expandable polystyrene (EPS) and extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam used to thermally insulate buildings. HBCDs also are added to the back-coating of textiles of upholstered furniture as well as in HIPS housing of electrical and electronic equipment and appliances (Alaee et al. 2003). Although y-HBCD is predominant in the commercial HBCD formulations...

Emulsion polymerization is the basis of many industrial processes, and the production volume of latex technologies is continually expanding—a consequence of the many environmental, economic, health, and safety benefits the process has over solvent-based processes. A wide range of products are synthesized by emulsion polymerization, including commodity polymers, such as polystyrene, poly(acrylates), poly (methyl methacrylate), neoprene or poly(chloroprene), poly(tetrafluoroethylene), and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). The applications include manufacture of coatings, paints, adhesives, synthetic leather, paper coatings, wet suits, natural rubber substitutes, supports for latex-based antibody diagnostic kits, etc. ...
