Claims
- 1. A foamable polymeric composition, comprising (a) at least one member selected from the group consisting of foamable polymers and monomers or coreactants polymerizable under blowing conditions, and (b) an effective amount of a blowing agent composition (i) azodicarbonamide; (ii) at least one member selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide and zinc carbonate; and (iii) at least one member selected from the group consisting of zinc salts of C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 organic acids, and C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 carboxamides.
- 2. The foamable polymeric composition according to claim 1, wherein said foamable polymer is polyurethane.
- 3. The foamable polymeric composition according to claim 1, wherein said foamable polymer is a polyolefin.
- 4. The foamable polymeric composition according to claim 1, wherein said foamable polymer is a cross-linked expandable polyolefin.
- 5. The foamable polymeric composition according to claim 1, wherein said foamable polymer is a natural or synthetic rubber.
- 6. The foamable polymeric composition according to claim 1, wherein said foamable polymer is selected from polyvinylchloride; acrylonitrile-butadiene rubbers; blends of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubbers with polyvinylchloride; polyvinylidene chloride; polyvinylacetate; polyethylvinyl acetate; polyesters, polyolefins; polyphenylene oxides; polystyrenes; ethylene-propylene rubber; polyisoprene rubber; polymers of halo-diolefins; polyamides; polyacrylates; copolymers of monomers of the foregoing polymers; and mixtures of the foregoing.
- 7. The foamable polymeric composition according to claim 1, wherein said foamable polymer is elastomeric or thermoplastic.
- 8. The foamable polymeric composition according to claim 1, wherein the concentration of said blowing agent is from about 0.05 to about 20% by weight, based on the weight of said foamable polymer.
- 9. The foamable polymeric composition according to claim 8, wherein the concentration of said blowing agent is from about 0.1 to about 15% by weight, based on the weight of said foamable polymer.
- 10. The foamable polymeric composition according to claim 9, wherein the concentration of said blowing agent is from about 1 to about 10% by weight, based on the weight of said foamable polymer.
