TO ENHANCE THE THERMAL INSULATION OF POLYMERIC FOAM BY REDUCING CELL ANISOTROPIC RATIO AND THE METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

This invention relates to foam insulating products, particularly extruded polystyrene foam, with increasing the cell orientation and reducing cell anisotropic ratio, as well as the process method for making the products thereof for improving the insulating properties and for reducing the manufacturing cost of the foam products. Alternatively, foam insulating products having increased cell compressive strength may be made by decreasing the cell orientation and increasing the cell anisotropic ratio.
