Abstract:
Novel melamine/formaldehyde foams having microcapsules incorporated into the structure of the condensation products, and also a method for the production thereof and uses thereof.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing an elastic foam by means of foaming a mixture comprising 50 to 97 wt % of an aqueous dispersion A) of SiO 2 particles having an average particle diameter in the range of 1 to 100 nm, 1 to 45 wt % of a polymer dissolved in water, B) 1 to 50 wt % of a propellant, C) 1 to 5 wt % of an emulsifier, D) 0 to 5 wt % of a cross-linking agent capable of reacting with the polymer B), and the foam that can be obtained by means of the method, and to the use thereof.
Abstract:
A plant substrate, consisting of (a) 25 to 100% by weight of an open cell melamine-formaldehyde foam, (b) 0 to 75% by weight of an additional synthetic plant substrate and/or mineral soil, and (c) 0 to 25% by weight of one or more active ingredient-releasing systems and/or additional additives, can be stored and transported in the completely anhydrous state and makes good air circulation in the soil possible.
Abstract:
Open-cell foam based on a melamine/formaldehyde condensation product which has been modified hydrophobically with a compound having C6-C20-alkyl groups, especially stearyl groups, such as aluminum stearate or stearyl isocyanate, process for its preparation and use.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a foam material that is produced from a hydrophobic or oloephobic, open-pored foam matrix. Said matrix is impregnated with a substance consisting essentially of a polyvinylidene halide (co)polymer, which can optionally contain additional substituents and also optionally of a fluorocarbon resin and/or a silicone resin. The invention also relates to a method for producing said foam material.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for thermally producing foams by foaming and cross-linking a mixture which contains a melamine/formaldehyde (MF) precondensate, a hardener and a propellant, wherein a formaldehyde scavenger is introduced prior to heating. A thermoformable melamine/formaldehyde-based foams exhibiting a low-formaldehyde emission and the use thereof for producing parts shaped by thermoforming are also disclosed.
