Gist”: Dispersions of acid modified olefins in water act as cellopeners

Why it is interesting: According to this invention aqueous dispersions of acid-modified olefins can be used as cellopeners for conventional, high resilience and viscoelastic foams. The examples show that a 40% ‘solids’ dispersion of an acrylic acid – ethylene copolymer in water, used in about 1 to 2% on the total isocyanate-reactive composition has a clearly positive effect on foam air-flow properties. The polymer dispersions can be made according to Dow’s proprietary BLUEWAVE™ extrusion technology.
