摘要 |
A rigid, dimentionally stable, distortion-free article of foamed polyvinyl aromatic resin, having a solid outer skin, is formed by incorporating in a foamable polyvinyl aromatic resin a finely, divided inert solid that has been surface treated to render the solid hydrophobic and then molding the foamable composition under foaming conditions. Foamed polyvinyl aromatic resin articles molded in accordance with the present invention have physical dimensions capable of meeting tolerances in the order of +/- 0.002 inches and are suitable for use in the manufacture of precision measuring devices and, particularly, frames for level instruments.
