A method of producing a foam is disclosed. The method includes providing an epoxy-containing compound, a cationic catalyst, an optional blowing agent, and at least one additive. The method further includes combining the epoxy-containing compound with the cationic catalyst, the optional blowing agent, and the at least one additive, wherein the epoxy-containing compound and the cationic catalyst react to polymerize the epoxy-containing compound to provide the foam having a density from about 0.3 lbs/ftto about 5.0 lbs/ftas measured by ASTM D1622. Further disclosed are the foam and a method for installing the foam.

Foam, composition, and method

This disclosure relates to a film comprising a metal receiving layer, the first layer comprising a blend of a first polymer and 5-25 wt. % of a second polymer, the second polymer is a metallocene-catalyzed elastomeric ethylene-propylene copolymer having an ethylene content of less than or equal to 10 wt. %, the first polymer is different from the second polymer.

Film composition and method of making the same

Provided are polymeric films that include a polyolefin and at least one cavitating agent including a poly(alkylene terephthalate) of formula (I); wherein n, representing the number of methylene segments in the repeating unit, is 3 or an integer greater than or equal to 5; p, representing the degree of polymerization, is an integer greater than 1. The polymeric film may be an opaque polymeric film. A preferred cavitating agent is poly(trimethylene terephthalate). Also provided are methods for making such polymeric films.

Polymeric films and method of making same

Multi-layer polymeric films having at least one skin layer comprising at least one polyhydroxyether component or a combination of at least one polyhydroxyether component and at least polyester component are provided. The multi-layer films exhibit advantages such as high surface energy contributing to improved printability, barrier properties, and metallization. Additionally, the films exhibit improved adhesion between the skin layer and other layers of multi-layer film structures. In certain embodiments, the at least one skin layer incorporates from about 70 wt. % to about 100 wt. % of the at least one polyhydroxyether component or the combination of the at least one polyhydroxyether component and the at least one polyester component. The combination of the at least one polyhydroxyether component and the at least one polyester component incorporates from about 1 wt. % to about 99.0 wt. % of the at least one polyhydroxyether component and from about 1 wt. % to about 99 wt. % of the at least one polyester component.

Polymeric films

This disclosure relates to multi-layer films having improved peel strength properties and comprising a core layer and a first tie layer made from at least 5 wt % of a grafted propylene-based polymer. Optionally, the multi-layer film may have one or more skin layers, and/or a second tie layer.
