Abstract:
The invention relates to hydrophilic aliphatic polyurethane foams obtained by reacting special prepolymers having a low monomer concentration and hydrophilic polyisocyanates in the presence of water. The absorptive properties make said polyurethane foams particularly suitable for producing wound dressings, cosmetic articles, or incontinence products.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a flameproof polyurethane (PUR) spray foam, especially a rigid PUR spray foam, to a spray foam body so produced and to the use thereof for heat insulation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a polymer composition which absorbs infrared radiation (IR), containing a transparent thermoplastic plastic, an inorganic infrared absorber, also referred to as IR absorber hereinbelow, at least one inorganic nano-scale pigment, and the combination of at least two organic colouring agents of a specific structure, and to the preparation and use of the polymer compositions according to the invention and to products produced therefrom.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to organic colouring agents with a high colour stability to weathering for thermoplastics. The invention furthermore relates to a polymer composition containing at least one thermoplastic and at least one organic colouring agent, preferably a combination of at least two organic colouring agents, of a specific structure. The invention moreover relates to the use of the colouring agents according to the invention for colouring polymer compositions, in particular for transparent formulations such as are required for the production of panes for use in buildings, motor vehicles and track vehicles or aircraft.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of chlorine by gas phase oxidation using a supported catalyst based on ruthenium, characterised in that the catalyst support has a plurality of pores having a pore diameter>50 nm and carries nanoparticles containing ruthenium and/or ruthenium compounds as catalytically active components.
Abstract:
A method for the installation of oxygen-consuming electrodes in electrochemical cells includes sealing one or more oxygen-consuming electrodes in an electrochemical half cell having damaged regions and/or overlap regions and applying a sealing paste. The sealing paste includes silver oxide, a hydrophobic polymer component, and a perfluorinated or partially fluorinated solvent. The method may be used, in particular, for chloralkali electrolysis. An electrochemical cell, having one or more adjoining oxygen-consuming electrodes with damaged and/or overlap regions sealed with a sealing paste having silver oxide, a hydrophobic polymer component, and a fluorinated solvent, is also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to biomedical foam articles for the wound sector which are formed by spraying a polymeric dispersion onto a wound. The polymeric dispersion being sprayed onto a wound surface forms a three-dimensional body which conforms to the spatial shape of the wound and which, as well as covering the wound surface, ensures a complete and accurately fitted packing of the wound in the depth dimension as well as the other dimensions. The biomedical foam articles of the present invention are particularly useful for treating chronic wounds.
