Abstract
An extruder foamed polystyrene which has an average cell size not exceeding 0,004 inch, an average cell wall thickness not exceeding 0,0004 inch and a density of from 0,75 to 8 lb/cu. ft. is produced as tube or film having a thickness of from 0,005 to 0,3 inch by extruding in a conventional extrusion apparatus using a cylinder temperature of 150 DEG to 260 DEG F. and a die temperature of 225 DEG to 290 DEG F. polystyrene in the form of particles which include from 4,5 to 9% of an aliphatic hydrocarbon (b.p. 30 DEG to 90 DEG C.) and which are homogeneously admixed with a CO2 liberating agent and an acid, the acid having at least 3,0 milli-equiv. of acetic hydrogen/gram, in sufficient amount so as to produce upon reaction a total of 5% by weight of water and CO2 based on the weight of polystyrene particles. For example, 0,5% of sodium bicarbonate and 0,4% of citric acid may be homogeneously mixed with the particles. The extrudate may be heated, e.g. by passing through a tank of hot water or a steam chamber, to expand it further, or it may be treated with a blast of cold air as it leaves the die orifice to cause the formation of a tough glazed skin.ALSO:An extruded foamed polystyrene which has an average cell size not exceeding 0,004 in., an average cell wall thickness not exceeding 0,0004 in. and a density of from 0,75 to 8 lb./cu. ft. is produced as tube or film having a thickness of from 0.005 to 0,3 in. by extruding in a conventional extrusion apparatus using a cylinder temperature of 150 DEG to 260 DEG F. and a die temperature of 225 DEG to 290 DEG F., polystyrene in the form of particles which include from 4,5 to 9% of an aliphatic hydrocarbon (b.p. 30 DEG to 90 DEG C.) and which are homogeneously admixed with a CO2 liberating agent and an acid, the acid having at least 3,0 milli-equiv. of acetic hydrogen/gram, in sufficient amount so as to produce upon reaction a total of 5% by weight of water and CO2 based on the weight of polystyrene particles.
