Technological development of expandable elastomeric thermoplastic compounds for the production of broad-spectrum products

The project Compofoam consists in the research and technological development of expandable thermoplastic compounds of low density and high resistance to abrasion. The proposed solution involves the development of a processing methodology for thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) compounds and modified styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) copolymers through the incorporation of expanding agents and other additives for the development of a broad range of products, namely shoe soles, and o-rings.
