Abstract From the Canadian patent

It has been found that the use of specific expanded organic microspheres greatly improve the RIM process by (i) significantly enhancing the blowing action of air and/or nitrogen, (ii) providing for uniform density of the molded part, (iii) allowing for the reduction of internal mold pressures, (iv) substantially eliminating surface defects (v), allowing for a significant reduction in density in the molded product, (vi) allowing for a substantial increase in the amount of air and/or nitrogen that can be dissolved in the isocyanate-reactive component, and (vii) significantly reducing shrinkage in the molded part.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed January 14, 1994 and granted January 1, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 14, 2014.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 14, 2016.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
