PROCESS FOR PRODUCING FOAMED ELASTOMERIC COMPOSITIONS

摘要

Foamed elastomeric compositions are produced by a process comprising the steps of (A) forming a blend comprised of (1) a foamable, curable elastomer; (2) a curative; and (3) a blowing agent composition consisting essentially of (i) azodicarbonamide and (ii) at least one member selected from the group consisting of zinc salt of C1-C6 organic acids and C1-C6 carboxamides; and (B) heating such blend to between about 130 DEG C and about 170 DEG C for a period of time sufficient to foam and cure such blend.
