Abstract:
A dishwasher includes a tub, a hinged door for closing the tub, a sealing gasket disposed between the tub and the door, a device control unit, a closing plate connected to the tub and movable by a motor, a latching element disposed on the door, and a closing tab disposed on the closing plate for engaging with the latching element for closing the door and enabling the device control unit to partially open the door. The closing plate is movable into first and second positions to bring the door into respective first and second partially open positions with respective first and second gap widths. The second gap width is larger than the first gap width.
Abstract:
Activators with reduced volatility that are liquid at room temperature are obtained as the reaction product of (A) a secondary amine or primary alcohol having at least one tertiary amine group, (B) a polyisocyanate of the diphenylmethane series having a functionality of from 2.5 to 4.0 and an OH-functional reactive component capable of addition to isocyanate. These activators are useful for the production of polyurethane foams having improved emission behavior.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to composite materials made of at least one composite layer of a polyurethane and of a second composite layer which is directly bonded to the first layer and which consists of a thermoplastic material that is different from the polyurethane of layer A). The polyurethane material of layer A) is characterized by a residual content of free reaction components containing ether groups of no more than 400 ppm, and preferably of no more than 100 ppm. The invention also relates to a process for the production of these composite materials and to a method of their use as materials in motor vehicles.
