Product Information

There are two types of polystyrene beads that are used in home insulation: Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and Extruded Polystyrene (XPS). The bubble size, air content, and half-life time of foams used in forming depend on many process parameters such as generation method (tank and/or in-line generation), device geometry, mixing power and duration, surfactant type and dosage, and fiber consistency. [ Citation 26 , Citation 27 , Citation 45 , Citation 46 ] Here, the term consistency refers to the mass fraction of the solid fibers in the water suspension before mixing the foam. Some of these complex dependencies are discussed in Section 3. Nowadays, filters are often made from synthetic fibers that are not biodegradable or recyclable. In air filtering, the main target is to achieve good particle capture with low pressure loss. Often, a large specific surface area and a tortuous structure improve the capturing properties. Foam forming could also be an interesting technology in this application area. As discussed in Section 5.3, pore-size distribution can be affected by changing the bubble size distribution of the foam. Tailor-made pore sizes could offer interesting opportunities for filter manufacturing. Korehei etal. [ Citation 102 ] tested how different refining energies of the MFC fiber affect filtration properties. Foam-formed samples were made by mixing of bleached softwood kraft pulp and MFC at a ratio of 90:10 wt%. They showed that when the refining energy was increased from 500 to 1500 kW/t, the filtration efficiency was improved. However, the highest refining energy level of 2500 kW/t reduced the filtration efficiency dramatically. At this refining level, the fiber length is shortest, which leads to a reduction in fiber entanglement in formed paper. The high hydrodynamic capillary forces during testing could then have caused holes and defects in the weak regions of the formed structure.

Everybody loves bean bags! They’re perfect for slouching on and look great in almost any room. If you’re looking to integrate a bean bag into your home, why not consider making your own using our foam bean bag filling? You could always buy a pre-made one, but for a truly personal touch, nothing beats making your own. It’s also much more fun. Using Foam Bean Bag Filling To Make Your Bean BagLi etal. [ Citation 54 ] made fiber-laden foams from unrefined pine fibers by using water-soluble modified lignin as a foaming agent. The fibers increased the stability of the foam significantly: The half-life time of fiber-laden foams (at 0.6% concentration) was 10 times that of the pure foam. This behavior was accounted for by fibers limiting bubble collapse and the smaller bubble size of the fiber-laden foams. where p 1 − p 2 and p 3 − p 4 are pressure differences over the vertical and horizontal pipe sections, and g is the acceleration of gravity. Typically, the length h could be 100–200 cm. If the length is not the same for the horizontal and vertical parts, the calculation can still be made with data on the pressure drop from the horizontal section. Pressure from the measurement point from the pipe under study is transmitted to the sensor through a small-diameter (plastic) tube. Each of the four measurement tubes is purged with a constant flow rate of deaerated water, for example, 0.05–0.2 l/min. Because of measurement accuracy, it is important that the flow rate of water is rather constant in a measurement tube and that air bubbles cannot accumulate there.

Kinnunen-Raudaskoski, K. Foam as a Carrier Phase – a Multipurpose Technology for Industrial Applications, Doctoral Dissertation, Aalto University, 2017. [Google Scholar] Jahangiri etal. [ Citation 13 ] found that the foam-formed papers made from bleached softwood kraft pulp and CTMP showed poor filtration efficiency due to the large pores in the material. They found the best submicron filtration properties when 10% and 30% of valley-beaten fibers were added to the bleached softwood kraft pulp as well as when freeze-drying was used with nano-fibrillated Lyocell fibers. However, FD deteriorated the strength properties dramatically. The higher filtration efficiency was achieved with shorter fibers, which also have a larger aspect ratio. The best structures captured between 85% and 90% of submicron particles, but the pressure drops were high compared to the commercial filters.The Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has today (Wednesday 22 November) announced a range of tax, benefits and savings measures.

The slightest mistake in the installation process can lead to many problems with your insulation. For example, if the insulation material is insufficient or uneven, you’ll end up with cold spots in your wall. Kiiskinen, H.; Salminen, K.; Lappalainen, T.; Asikainen, J.; Keränen, J.; Hellén, E.

In Abstract from 257th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, Orlando, United States; 2019. [Google Scholar] In paper products, foam-forming technology offers good formation compared to the traditional water-laid process, especially with increasing fiber length. The effect of using foam to get superior formation was reported as early as in 1972 by Radvan and Gatward. [ Citation 2 ] Some special paper grades, like wallpaper, release papers, or industrial paper grades, could benefit from the possibility of mixing different fiber types and lengths. In addition, higher forming consistency can be seen as an advantage. However, in printing and writing paper grades, good formation is already gained with shorter fibers. The bulk rheology of foam is a very complex phenomenon. It depends on many parameters such as air content, surfactant type and concentration, and bubble size. Moreover, as discussed above, foams may exhibit yield stress behavior, and bubbles may either stay approximately spherical or they may deform under shear. Due to high compressibility of foams, induced pressure may alter the foam behavior significantly. So, you must make sure the installer cleans the cavities or hires someone to do so before the EPS installation. This process might be costly, depending on the state of the cavity, but it’s essential to insulate your house properly. N joint = D ( N L ) 2 J V , [15] suggests a rapid increase in the number of joints, if the volume in which the fibers are confined is reduced by voids of the structure:

[Crossref] , [Google Scholar] On the bright side, EPS beads don’t absorb moisture as much as other insulating materials. When installed correctly, these beads create flawless insulation with the help of the bonding agent, making it relatively water resistant. As said earlier, the structure of the wet foam leaves special traces in the formed fiber network. This is seen in Figure 28 where we show the pore-size distribution characterized with X-ray microtomography for a foam-formed CTMP pulp sheet. Random deposition of fibers typically leads to a lognormal distribution of pore sizes, which is visible in Figure 28a in the small pore diameters. However, the foam carrier causes an additional Gaussian component g in the distribution, so that the probability of large pores becomes much higher than in water forming. The total pore-size distribution can be presented as a linear combination, [ Citation 21 ] [14] f ( r ) = A g ( r ; μ 1 , σ 1 ) + ( 1 − A ) lognorm ( r ; μ 2 , σ 2 ) , [14]
