The present invention relates to a process for producing pressed mouldings of rigid polyurethane foam, the rigid PU foam of a density of 0.15-0.25 g/cm<3> being crushed or ground into particles of a diameter of 0.001-0.5 mm and the powder thus obtained being compressed, without the addition of binders, under a pressing pressure of 20-50 KN/cm<2> at room temperature to form pressed mouldings of a d...

A novel process for the production of mouldings having a density of at least 250 kg/m<3> from polyurethane foams having a compact surface by foam moulding a polyurethane-forming starting mixture using organic carboxylic acids as the blowing agent, and the mouldings obtained by this process.

Rigid closed-cell polyisocyanate-based foams are prepared by the reaction of polyisocyanate with a polyol composition having an average hydroxyl number of 100 to 500 and comprising at least one polyol component containing from 4 to 8 active hydrogen atoms per molecule and having a hydroxyl number of from 100 to 500. The blowing of the foam is essentially with carbon dioxide generated from the reac...

A process for producing a thermoplastic polyester resin foam comprising melting a thermoplastic polyester resin, mixing the molten resin with a blowing agent and extruding the mixture into a low-pressure zone to carry out expansion molding, characterized in that a compound having two or more acid anhydride groups per molecule, optionally together with a compound of a metal of Group I, II or III el...

A polymeric laminate for use with a glass layer in a laminated bilayer or anti-lacerative shield application comprises a first layer of moisture tolerant plasticized polyvinyl butyral containing a) adhesion control agent(s) and b) residual hydroxyl content which optimize glass adhesion and optical performance over a range of moisture contents in the first layer likely to be encountered in use, i.e...

PURPOSE:To obtain a stable fusion band to increase the critical current density of the wire rod, by preheating a sintered wire rod of oxide superconducting composition to above 700 deg.C and thereafter partially heating it to above its fusion point to form the fusion band. CONSTITUTION:After a compact of powder with composition Bi2-Sr2-Ca-Cu2-O has been packed and sealed in an Ag pipe, the pipe is...

PURPOSE:To obtain a stable fusion band to increase the critical current density of the wire rod, by preheating a sintered wire rod of oxide superconducting composition to above 700 deg.C, and partially heating only a part within its heated region to temperatures above its fusion point so as to form the fusion band. CONSTITUTION:After a compact of powder with composition Bi2-Sr2-Ca-Cu2-O has been p...

PURPOSE:To obtain an oxide superconductive monocrystal film with satisfactory reproducibility by moderating the difference in lattice constant between a substrate and an oxide superconductor. CONSTITUTION:An amorphous film 2 having a film of an amorphous oxide superconductor formed thereon is thermally diffused into a substrate 1. At a result, the difference in lattice constant between the part ne...
