Abstract

It has been found that the use of specific expanded organic microspheres greatly improve the RIM process by (i) significantly enhancing the blowing action of air and/or nitrogen, (ii) providing for uniform density of the molded part, (iii) allowing for the reduction of internal mold pressures, (iv) substantially eliminating surface defects, (v) allowing for a significant reduction in density in the molded product, (vi) allowing for a substantial increase in the amount of air and/or nitrogen that can be dissolved in the isocyanate-reactive component, and (vii) significantly reducing shrinkage in the molded part.
