Abstract

The first patents in IF technology were granted between 1962 and 1964 to its two inventors, R. Angell (USA) and T. P. Engel (France). These patents pertained to integral polystyrene foam 1), and were later used as a basis in Europe and the USA for the production of the first commercial grades. Integral polystyrene foam was followed by integral polyolefin and poly(vinyl chloride) foams.
