  • Method for producing expanded thermoplastic polymers with controlled density
    Patent number: 12129349
    Abstract: A method for producing expanded thermoplastic polymeric (eTP) material and tuning the density of the eTP during the process of producing said eTP wherein the density of the eTP material can be decreased by increasing the partial pressure of the at least one gas which is soluble in the TP material and/or by increasing the total pressure during the charging step.
    Type: Grant

  • REACTIVE FORMULATIONS FOR FORMING A STRONG POLYURETHANE-POLYUREA COMPRISING WATER BLOWN FOAM
    Publication number: 20230399482
    Abstract: A reactive foam formulation and method for forming a polyurethane-polyurea comprising water blown foam having an apparent density in the range 30-700 kg/m3 measured according to ISO 845 and having a tensile strength (measured according to DIN 53504) over apparent density ratio of at least 10 kPa·m 3/kg. Furthermore, foams having elastomeric behaviour and significant improved mechanical properties such as tensile strength and ball rebound are disclosed. These foams are very suitable for use in footwear and automotive and more in particular in applications aiming for consumer comfort.
