Abstract

Closed cell, cellular bodies are obtained from thermoplastic material by reducing such material to a finely-divided loose compressible state, adding one or more solvents or softening agents, introducing the materials into a mould having a movable ram, introducing gas under pressure, moving the ram into the mould so as to compress and compact the gas and materials, heating to enable the gas to be absorbed, cooling, opening the mould, and then expanding by heat if necessary to produce the cells. The thermoplastic material may be rubber, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrol, or cellulose acetate and the solvents, acetone, ethyl methyl ketone, butyl acetate, cyclohexanone, tetrahydrofuran or benzol. Softening agents may be tricresyl phosphate or dioctyl phthalate. The material may be finely divided by grinding or used in the form of threads, sheets, plates or rods, it being placed in the mould in such a way that the gases can circulate; zinc stearate powder may be added to separate the parts. Small quantities of blowing agents such as azo-iso butyric acid dinitrile or diazoaminobenzene may also be added. In examples (1) and (2), polyvinyl chloride optionally with tricresyl phosphate or dioctyl phthalate is converted to a fine powder with the aid of tetrahydrofuran. The powder is then introduced together with nitrogen gas into a mould fitted with a ram. Pressure and temperature is increased until the gas is completely absorbed after which the mould is cooled and opened. The body after removal is expanded by heat.ALSO:Closed cell, cellular bodies are obtained from thermoplastic material by reducing such material to a finely divided loose compressible state, adding one or more solvents or softening agents, introducing the materials into a mould having a movable ram introducing gas under pressure, moving the ram into the mould so as to compress and compact the gas and materials, heating to enable the gas to be absorbed, cooling, opening the mould, and then expanding by heat if necessary to produce the cells. The thermoplastic material may be natural or synthetic rubber and the solvents acetone, ethyl methyl ketone, butyl acetate, cyclohexanone, tetrahydrofuran or benzol. Softening agents may be tricresyl phosphate or dioctyl phthalate. The material may be finely divided by grinding or used in the form of threads, sheets plates or rods, it being placed in the mould in such a way that the gases can circulate, zinc stearate powder may be added to separate the parts. Small quantities of blowing agents such as azo-iso butyric acid dinitrile or diazoaminobenzene may also be added. In example 3, rubber, zinc oxide, sulphur, diphenylguanidine, paraffin oil, lithopone and dyestuffs are drawn into foils and after dusting with zinc stearate is introduced together with nitrogen gas into a mould fitted with a ram. Pressure and temperature is increased until the gas is completely absorbed after which the mould is cooled and opened. The rubber is expanded at 130 DEG -140 DEG C.
