Abstract

Soft and low-density foam materials, obtained by means of an extrusion expansion (with physical blowing agents) of particular copolymers of ethylene with vinylacetate (and/or with alkyl esters of acrylic or methacrylic acid), are found to be very suitable for the manufacture of expanded articles with little shrinkage after expansion, free from creases on the surface or cracks on the cell walls, and having excellent characteristics, higher compressive strength and so on.
