In emulsion and foam technology much is known concerning the properties and behavior of systems which involve only two or three components. Given a particular system and data concerning concentration, temperature, and manner of mixing, we can today predict fairly well the properties of the comparatively simple emulsion or foam. However, most emulsions and foams of importance are multicomponent systems and in these systems the predictability of the action or the properties of the emulsion or foam on a theoretical basis often becomes small. 

Based on microcellular thermoplastic foam technology, the MuCell process uses a blowing agent (typically CO2) that in a supercritical state creates foams with evenly distributed and uniformly sized microscopic cells, 5-50 qm for example. This foam... 

Ethylene-styrene interpolymers (ESI) exhibit some interesting properties when they are blended with LLDPE or PP. Aspects covered include foaming technology, blend... 

BLOW MOULDED FOAM TECHNOLOGY GOES INTO PRODUCTION FOR PALLETS... 

Krupp Kautex BFT, blowmoulding foam technology, has reached commercial fruition and its first industrial-scale application will be at a new company, BFT Plastics in Northern Ireland, where a machine to mould pallets and transport boxes will be installed later this year. The BFT process uses a chemical blowing agent to foam HOPE to increase rigidity and impact resistance and improve heat insulation.

Rusmar Inc. offers a family of long-duration foam products. These products are used for odor suppression, control of volatile organic compound (VOC) and semivolatile organic compound (S VOC) emissions, dust control, and promotion of surface water runoff. The vendor has provided information for several full-scale commercial applications of long-duration foam technology. The technology is commercially available currently.

An alternative process for the production of PVC foam using microcellular foam technology, not requiring impact modifier, for thin wall profile (280) has been reported. Proof of concept experiments confirm the satisfactory solid state extrusion of PVC pellets, prefoamed in a batch solid state microcellular process (109).
