Abstract
Foamable compositions are provided including a polymeric component, an encapsulated foaming component in an amount effective in foaming the foamable composition and a wood component in an amount effective as a filler in a foamed composition obtained from the foamable composition. Foamed compositions and methods of producing foamed positions are also provided.
Claims34
A foamable composition comprising a thermoplastic polymeric component, an encapsulated foaming component, other than the thermoplastic polymeric component, in an amount effective in foaming the foamable composition and a wood component distributed substantially throughout the foamable composition in an amount effective as a filler in a foamed composition obtained from the foamable composition.
A foamed composition comprising a thermoplastic polymeric component and a wood component distributed substantially throughout the foamed composition in an amount effective as a filler in the foamed composition, the foamed composition being derived from a foamable composition containing an encapsulated foaming component, other than the thermoplastic polymeric component, effective in foaming the foamable composition.
A foamable composition comprising an acrylonitrile/styrene/acrylic polymeric material and an encapsulated foaming component.
A method for producing a foamed composition, the method comprises the steps of:
- forming a foamable composition comprising a thermoplastic polymeric component, an encapsulated foaming component, other than the thermoplastic polymeric component, and a wood component distributed substantially throughout the foamable composition;
- and
- causing the foamable composition to be formed into a foamed composition.
