<p>Low density, closed cell, soft foam products having improved dimensional stability are made from blends of ethylenic resins having low stiffness by extrusion foaming of the heat plastified polymer blend and a volatile blowing agent. The blends especially comprise (1) a copolymer of ethylene and monoethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid and (2) a copolymer of ethylene and at least one monoethylenically unsaturated non-ionic comonomer, preferably blends of ethylene/acrylic acid copolymers and ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers, having stiffness less than about 20,000 psi (1400 kg<Sub>/</Sub>cm<Sup>2</Sup>). Exemplary volatile blowing agents are 12-dichlorotetrafluoroethane and 1-chloro-1,2,2,2 -tetrafluoroethane.</p> |
