The use of twin-screw extruders in the field of physical foaming of plastics is discussed and it is shown that, apart from the one-stage process, more and more twin-screw extruders are being used as primary extruders in the two-stage process.
The thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of foams were correlated with the PU matrix structure in order to demonstrate the effect of cell anisotropy on the thermal insulation properties of the rigid foams blown with cyclopentane and HFC-365/227 (93 wt % pentafluorobutane/7 wt % heptafluoropropane).
The moulding of thin-walled structural foam parts is examined with particular reference to Trexel's MuCell low pressure process which uses a physical blowing agent, usually nitrogen, injected into the barrel, and to the use of chemical blowing agents.
