Abstract
Abstract A high temperature endothermic blowing agent which is a mixture of a polycarboxylic acid and an inorganic carbonate, the polycarboxylic acid and inorganic carbonate each having been surface treated with a component which prevents water from being absorbed thereby. The blowing agent is incorporated into a polymer and used for producing foamed products.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
63 words
A high temperature endothermic blowing agent which comprises a mixture of a polycarboxylic acid and a magnesium carbonate, wherein said polycarboxylic acid and said magnesium carbonate have been surface treated with a component selected from the group consisting of mono glycerides, stearic acid, silane coupling agents and mixtures thereof which prevents water from being absorbed by said polycarboxylic acid and said magnesium carbonate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
63 words
A high temperature endothermic blowing agent which comprises a mixture of a polycarboxylic acid and a magnesium carbonate, wherein said polycarboxylic acid and said magnesium carbonate have been surface treated with a component selected from the group consisting of mono glycerides, stearic acid, silane coupling agents and mixtures thereof which prevents water from being absorbed by said polycarboxylic acid and said magnesium carbonate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
A high temperature endothermic blowing agent according to claim 1, wherein said polycarboxylic acid is selected from the group consisting of those of the formula HOOC--R--COOH and alkali metal salts thereof, wherein R is alkylene of 1 to 25 carbon atoms which may contain one or more hydroxy substituents and may also contain unsaturation.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
A high temperature endothermic blowing agent according to claim 2, wherein said polycarboxylic acid is selected from the group consisting of citric acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, sodium hydrogen citrate, monosodium citrate, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
A high temperature endothermic blowing agent according to claim 1, wherein said magnesium carbonate is selected from the group consisting of magnesite, hydromagnesite and mixtures thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
