Abstract
Abstract Low density foams are prepared from an admixture which comprises a medium which is polymerizable and/or crosslinkable by free radical initiation, a t-alkylhydrazinium salt blowing agent, a peroxide curing agent, a suitable surfactant, and at least one transition metal salt promoter wherein at least one of the metal salts is a compound of iron or copper. The t-alkylhydrazinium salt blowing agent in the presence of an effective amount of the transitional metal salt promoter improves the efficiency of the process.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
55 words
A foamable and curable composition comprising an admixture of an unsaturated polyester and a polymerizable unsaturated monomer or polymethylmethacrylate and a polymerizable unsaturated monomer, a peroxide, at least one transition metal salt promoter where at least one of the metals is selected from group consisting of iron and copper, and a t-alkylhydrazinium salt blowing agent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
55 words
A foamable and curable composition comprising an admixture of an unsaturated polyester and a polymerizable unsaturated monomer or polymethylmethacrylate and a polymerizable unsaturated monomer, a peroxide, at least one transition metal salt promoter where at least one of the metals is selected from group consisting of iron and copper, and a t-alkylhydrazinium salt blowing agent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the concentration of the medium is 100 parts, the peroxide is from about 0.2 to about 20 parts, the promoter is from about 0.01 to about 2.0 parts, and the blowing agent is from about 0.2 to about 10 parts.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
The composition of claim 2 wherein the concentration of the peroxide is from about 0.5 to about 10 parts, the promoter is from about 0.05 to about 1.0 parts, and the blowing agent is from about 0.2 to about 5 parts.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein a suitable surfactant is present in the composition.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said medium is an unsaturated polyester resin.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said peroxide is selected from the group of hydrogen peroxide, hydroperoxide, diacylperoxide, peroxidicarbonate, and ketone peroxides.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the promoter is selected from the group of ferric chloride, ferrous chloride, cuprous chloride, cupric chloride and copper naphthenate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method for preparing a foamed and cured resin comprising reacting the composition of claim 1 at ambient temperatures until foaming and curing have been effected.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
39 words
The method of claim 8 wherein the metal salt is first added to the resin reaction mixture and thoroughly mixed, and next the blowing agent is added and thoroughly mixed, and lastly the peroxide is added and thoroughly mixed.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method of claim 8 wherein the resin is an unsaturated polyester resin.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method of claim 8 wherein the density of the foamed and cured resin is controlled by controlling the blowing agent and metal salt promoter.
