TS-037386 — A novel method to increase thermal efficiency infrared absorption and bulk density of polystyrene foams.
Blowing agents create a cellular structure from a liquid plastic resin and, in certain cases, function as an insulating component of the foam. Hydrogen-containing chlorofluorocarbons and fluorocarbons are common blowing agents in the foam industry for extrusion forming of Polystyrene foam. However…
