摘要 |
The invention concerns a process for preparation of light weight objects comprising calendering, extrusion, blow or injection moulding a resin of polypropylene, polystyrene, HD polyethylene or copolymers thereof and, admixed therein, thermally expandable microspheres including a thermoplastic polymer shell encapsulating a propellant, at a temperature sufficient to result in expansion of the microspheres, wherein said polymer shell is made of a homo- or co-polymer from ethylenically unsaturated monomers comprising more than 80 wt % of nitrile containing monomers. The invention further concerns light weight objects obtainable by the process.
