Abstract
Abstract THE PROCESS COMPRISES COATING BEADS OF A POLYMER SUCH AS POLYSTYRENE WITH AN ORGANIC AGENT, FOR EXAMPLE, ZINC STEARATE, IMPREGNATING THE COATED BEADS WITH LIQUEFIED BUTANE AT CONDITIONS SUFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN THE BUTANE IN THE LIQUEFIED STATE, REMOVING THE EXCESS BUTANE FROM THE IMPREGNATED BEADS AND RECOVERING THE RESULTING FOAMABLE BEADS. COATING THE BEADS PREVENTS BEAD AGGLOMERATION DURING THE IMPREGNATION STEP.
