Zusammenfassung:Thermoplastic resin foam prepared from partly cross-linked olefin polymer and a foaming agent, e.g., azo dicarbon amide, fluorocarbon or gaseous compd., is swollen to reduce the density of the product. This is done by introducting gas into a number of independent bubble structures up to the atmospheric press., heating the mixt. up to a temp. higher than the melting point of the foam, cooling and maintaining the mixt. down to a temp. lower than 0 C, and reducing the external press.
