20060189703 - Particulate expandable polystyrene (eps), process for making particulate expandable polystyrene, as well as a particular application of polystyrene foam material: The present invention relates to a particulate expandable polystyrene (EPS) that can be processed into a foam with a fine cell structure and a low density and contains a material for increasing the thermal insulation value, to improve the thermal insulation value hereof. The present invention also relates to a...

20060189704 - Resin composition: A resin composition includes a polyol and is used to form flexible foams. The resin composition also includes water and an alkoxylate of an active hydrogen containing species. The alkoxylate of the active hydrogen containing species acts in two separate ways. The alkoxylate acts as a blowing reaction modifier, thus...

20060189705 - Expandable mixtures that are devoid of isocyanates: Foamable mixtures of excellent quality and which are isocyanate free are prepared from silane-terminated prepolymers in which a proportion of the silane end groups are replaced by non-polar organic groups. As a result, the prepolymers have much greater hydrocarbon blowing agent compatability....
