Zusammenfassung: | A continuous process, using simple apparatus, for the production of foam beads, in which the blowing agent can be readily recirculated, is characterised in that polymer particles and dispersants are fed continuously to a slender, pressure-operated, non-stirred mass transfer column and in the latter are subjected to a heat treatment under pressure, after which the dispersion is sprayed into a low-pressure chamber and in the process is decompressed, the polymer particles expanding. In the process, foam beads are produced with constant quality without complicated process measures and have in particular a homogeneous cell diameter and a uniform degree of expansion. |
