VERFAHREN UND ANLAGE ZUR HERSTELLUNG VON FORMTEILEN AUS VERNETZTEN REAKTIONSKUNSTSTOFFEN

The invention relates to a process for producing moulded components from cross-linked reaction plastics, especially polyurethane, distinguished by the following process stages: the reaction components of the plastics are mixed in the fluid state; the reaction mixture thus produced is applied in the fluid state to a moving conveyor thus forming a continuous layer, and at least partially cured along a moving section of the conveyor to form a semi-finished product; the semi-finished product is formed without cutting by the effect of a pressure of 150 of 400 bar at a temperature of 120 to 350 DEG C until obtaining the moulding. It is possible with this process, using relatively simple moulding tools, to manufacture large-area and thin-walled mouldings which have constant mechanical properties and outstanding surface quality over their entire length.

Laminated serving tray with slip-proof surface - comprising several superposed melamine-impregnated or -coated sheets of paper plus top ply of PVC-coated fabric

Mfr. of a non-slip serving tray comprises stacking several sheets of paper which have been coated or impregnated with heat-setting resin, on top of one another; superposing a textile covered at least on its uppermost surface with a porous thermoplastics; and compressing the resulting semi-prod. in a mould, with application of heat, in such a way that raised portions of the top ply are converted, by polymerisation into a synthetic rubbery material and the whole assembly is moulded into its final, intended, shape. Specifically, both the textile and the thermoplastics layer are perforated. The thermoplastics is suitably PVC. The top ply is free from bubbles and voids. These tend to form, in prior-art processes owing to gases and vapours being entrapped during polymerisation. The process, as claimed, ensures that the prod. has uniform, non-slip, surface of pleasing appearance.

Process for producing polystyrene foam boards

A process for producing a drainage board and a lathing board is described. For this purpose, after selective comminution, fragments of polystyrene foam scrap are softened in a press which can be heated by steam and are compressed to form a slab essentially in the form of a right parallelepiped. The slab, which obtains numerous voids if compression is low, is cut up into drainage boards once it has cooled. Polystyrene foam slabs produced by compressing by about 1/3 are cut up thermally, whilst still in the warm state, into lathing boards, the fissured surface of which forms a base surface to which a plaster can adhere.

Improvements in or relating to manufacture of moulded articles

Synthetic resinous thermoplastic material is extruded into filer form, coiled into the general shape of the article to be produced and moulded into final shape. Reinforcement, e.g. wire, textile yarn or strip may be incorporated in the material while it is being extruded. In making a suitable bar an extruded thread of polytrichlorfluoroethylene is wound into a flat coil to make a preform which is then moulded under heat and pressure. Advantage is stated to accrue from molecular orientation due to extrusion and even distribution of reinforcement.

This mixture or solution is applied by known processes to fibre material, e.g. carbon fibres, glass fibres or polymer fibres, and is polymerised with the aid of radiation or of plasma methods. Polymerisation, e.g. at room temperature or at up to 80° C., gives thermoplastics or thermoplastic prepregs, and these can subsequently also be subjected to forming processes. The hydroxy-functionalised (meth)acrylate constituents can then be crosslinked with the uretdiones already present within the system, by use of elevated temperature. It is thus possible to produce dimensionally stable thermosets or dimensionally stable crosslinked composite components.
