Extruded Polystyrene Foam
Carl Munters had shown that polystyrene heated with methyl chloride under pressure puffs into a closed-cell foam when let out of the vessel (US 2,023,204) - but only in small pieces; with larger outlets the mass collapsed into brittle, irregular lumps. Otis Ray McIntire at Dow found the fix: keep the mass BELOW the critical temperature of methyl chloride, about 143 °C, so the gas stays dissolved, and let its own evaporation cool the foam fast enough to freeze the cells.
**US 2,450,436**, "Manufacture of cellular thermoplastic products", McIntire, assigned to Dow Chemical, filed 26. July 1947, granted 5. October 1948. Its drawing is the pressure vessel with the bottom valve the foam flows out of. Dow sold the result as blue insulation board; the white bead foam of packaging is a later process.
**Methyl chloride is toxic; you start from foam board.** You build a hot-wire cutter, cut an insulated box, and measure how long it keeps ice.

Build the frame
From 18 mm plywood cut a 300 x 300 mm base, two 300 x 40 mm feet, a 280 x 50 mm post and a 200 x 50 mm arm. Glue and screw the post to the back edge and the arm square on top.

String the wire
Drill 2 mm through the arm tip and the base directly below. Fix the wire to an eye bolt on top of the arm, run it down through the base, and tie it to a spring under the base so it stays taut when it expands hot. Check it is square to the table.

Cut the box
From 25 mm foam board cut a base and lid 200 x 200 mm, two sides 200 x 150 mm and two 150 x 150 mm. Feed slowly - let the wire do the work. Tape the box together.

History & Context
History & Context
**What the patent specifies:** polystyrene with methyl chloride dissolved under pressure below the gas's critical temperature, released through an outlet so evaporation expands and cools it into uniform closed cells, in blocks 2 inches thick or more. **Modern build (derived):** commercial extruded foam board, today made with other blowing agents.
The patent names its target plainly: blocks big enough to cut into insulating panels for refrigerators. Its limits: it melts at low heat, burns unless treated, dissolves in many solvents (and in some glues and paints), and breaks down in sunlight.
