Abstract
The invention comprises the production of a cellular material by vulcanizing a mixture containing between 10% and 90% of an ebonite-forming rubber and sufficient vulcanizing agents to form an ebonite with the rubber, not more than 10% of a solid filler preferably in the absence of such filler, and a chemical blowing agent, whereby an ebonite structure is formed, so that, during the vulcanization, the chemical blowing agent decomposes or reacts to produce a gas, the viscosity of the composition during the production of the gas increasing whereby cells are retained in the composition wherein the mixture further contains between 5% and 87% of a bituminous material.
