  • Patent number: 11078342
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an expandable polymeric composition that comprises: a) from 60% to 88% by weight of a vinyl aromatic polymer and/or copolymer, calculated respect to (a)+(b); b) from 12% to 40% by weight of a block copolymer, containing at least one vinyl aromatic polymer and/or copolymer and at least one hydrogenated diene polymer, calculated respect to (a)+(b); c) from 3 parts to 10 parts by weight of a blowing agent, calculated on 100 parts of (a)+(b).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 28, 2017
    Date of Patent: August 3, 2021

  • Patent number: 10920033
    Abstract: The present invention relates to polymeric compositions that can be used for producing packaging with dynamic cushioning, with a pleasant touch, with reduced abrasive power, in which the expanded particles constituting the packaging adhere well to one another and do not come detached during use. Said compositions comprise: a) from 70% to 90% by weight of a vinyl aromatic polymer and/or copolymer, calculated with respect to (a)+(b); b) from 10% to 30% by weight of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) containing a percentage that ranges from 10% to 30% by weight of vinyl acetate, calculated with respect to (a)+(b); c) from 3 to 10 parts by weight of a blowing agent, calculated on 100 parts of component a) added to component b); said copolymer (b) being distributed in the polymer (a) in the form of particles having an average volumetric diameter ranging from 1 nm to 2000 nm.
