You are right - TEVT has not produced any evidence to support their claims of superior performance to their competitors, and let's face it, they have had plenty of time to do so. I gave up on RB trying to get them to produce any data to support their exaggerated claims. They make unsupported claims in PR and when asked for verification, out come the attack dogs to maul the messenger. The claim that physical properties are not affected is just not true. The DuPont Handbook says, "substitution of a gas void for solid polymer is unlikely to yield a stronger product. Generally speaking our studies have shown that most property loss is 1 - 1.5 times as great as the percent of density reduction."........... "Our experience indicates that physical properties generally decline linearly with density reduction down to about 20%, and then linearly again, but at a steeper slope, down to about 40%" That's the same type of information you would be told by any reputable company making chemical foaming agents. Now there's TEVT, always making losses, heavily in debt, and with a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 0.20 to 1, claiming they have a foaming agent that out-performs all the competition? I don't think the claims would withstand scrutiny - that's why they have no supporting test data, because there is none.
