A method for preparing a semi-rigid melamine foam plastic, comprising Step (1): adding a formaldehyde solution and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to a reactor, heating the reactor, and adding alkali; Step (2): feeding solid melamine powder and a modifier 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) into the reactor, raising the temperature in the reactor to 75-85° C., adjusting the pH value of the solution of material by adding acid; heating the solution of material, performing a heat preservation reaction, and then adding alkali, Step (3): feeding a predetermined amount of foaming agent, emulsifier, auxiliary agent and curing agent into a stirring reactor to obtain a mixed auxiliary agent; pumping the mixed auxiliary agent and the semi-rigid modified melamine resin into an emulsifier; placing the emulsified resin into a microwave heating chamber for microwave foaming; Step (4): cutting the semi-rigid melamine foam plastic obtained in step (3) and then drying.

A product, especially a master-batch for producing thermally expandable compositions, is obtainable or obtained by reacting, preferably by extruding, a mixture including: (a) at least one polymer P, cross-linkable by peroxide, and (b) at least one coagent, especially an acrylate A, and (c) at least one peroxide PE, wherein the mixture is reacted such that the product has an average melt flow index (MFI) of between 0.1 and 8 g/10 min.

The present disclosure is directed to providing a self-adhesive foamed laminate sheet which is excellent in air escapability even after exposure to heat and pressure, and a composition for a self-adhesive foamed sheet which can be used to produce such a self-adhesive foamed laminate sheet. The composition for a self-adhesive foamed sheet of the present disclosure includes a polymer, a crosslinking agent, and a wax agent.

Polyurethane foams are made by curing a reaction mixture that contains an aromatic polyisocyanate, at least one isocyanate-reactive material having an average functionality of at least 2 and an equivalent weight of at least 200 per isocyanate-reactive group, at least one blowing agent, at least one surfactant and at least one catalyst, at least one cyclic 1,3-diketone compound, at least one aminoalcohol or alkylhydroxylamine and an alkali metal, phosphonium or ammonium sulfite. Foams so produced emit low levels of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein and propionaldehyde.

A house wrap for a building comprises a reinforcing drainage plane layer configured to face the outside of the building; a breathable, non-perforated barrier film bonded to the drainage plane layer; and at least one insulating layer including a perforated expanded low density polyethylene foam layer, wherein in the expanded low density polyethylene layer at least 80% of the blowing agents are dissipated from closed cells within the expanded low density polyethylene layer, forming evacuated closed cells whereby a partial vacuum is formed within the closed cells of the low density polyethylene layer.

Disclosed is an infill for an artificial turf field, the infill comprising: from about 40 wt. % to about 60 wt. % of a polyvinyl chloride resin; from about 5 wt. % to about 30 wt. % of a plasticizer derived from a naturally occurring source; from about 2 wt. % to about 10 wt. % of a reflective pigment; from about 0.01 wt. % to about 0.1 wt. % of a blowing agent; and from about 5 wt. % to about 30 wt. % of a filler. The infill is pelletized and maintains the temperature of an artificial turf field, when disposed throughout the artificial turf field, at a temperature about 15° F. to about 25° F. less than a temperature of a comparative artificial turf under substantially similar ambient and environmental conditions, wherein a comparative infill of the comparative artificial turf consists essentially of crumbed rubber infill.

The present invention relates to superabsorbent polymer and a method for preparing the same. The present invention can provide a superabsorbent polymer in which a hydrophobic material having an HLB of 0-6 and a surface cross-linking agent are mixed into a base resin prepared in the presence of water dispersible silica, thereby having improved rewetting characteristics and permeability through surface-modification of the base resin.

A foamable composition comprising at least one cellulose acetate, a plasticizer, a nucleating agent, and either a chemical blowing agent or a physical blowing agent is disclosed. The composition is formed into foamed articles that are biodegradable.

The process for forming closed cell expanded low density polyethylene foam includes the steps of: providing a mixture including low density polyethylene pellets and an effective amount of hydrocarbon scavenger additives or degassing agents, such as glycerides; adding a primary blowing agent comprising one of liquid propane, liquid butane, and combinations thereof, to the mixture and gasifying the blowing agent to expand the low density polyethylene; forming the expanded low density polyethylene into sheets, curing the expanded low density polyethylene until 80%, generally at least 99%, of the primary blowing agent is dissipated from cells within the expanded low density polyethylene forming evacuated closed cell low density polyethylene sheets.
