Abstract:
Improved heavy duty sandwich elements having A. A SURFACE LAYER B. A LAYER OF ADHESIVE APPLIED TO THE SURFACE LAYER AND IN WHICH FLOCK FIBERS OF VARYING LENGTHS ARE EMBEDDED, AND C. A FOAM CORE ADJACENT THE ADHESIVE LAYER, INTO WHICH FOAM CORE THE FLOCK FIBERS EXTEND, WITH THE LAYER OF ADHESIVE AND FIBERS; AND WHICH FORMS A MARGINAL ZONE WHEREIN THE FOAM CORE HAS A DENSITY THAT DECREASES CONTINUOUSLY FROM THE MARGINAL ZONE TO THE INTERIOR OF THE FOAM CORE.
Abstract:
A composite non-woven synthetic fibre mat is used for reinforcing foam plastic articles or structures. The non-woven mat consists of two non-woven fleeces being firmly bonded together. The foam plastic articles or structures are reinforced with the composite non-woven fibre mat in their marginal zones. Preferably the foam plastic is a polyurethane.
Abstract:
A marginal zone reinforcing system for the production of heavy duty sandwich constructions consisting of a three layer matting of (a) a web or mat, (b) a fiber fleece of fine fibers and (c) a fiber fleece of coarse fibers, the layers being bonded by medling.
Abstract:
A REINFORCED FOAM PLASTIC LAMINATE HAVING A SPECIAL MARGINAL ZONE REINFORCING INSERT COMPRISING A REINFORCING MAT AND A LAYER OF FIBERS WHICH ARE INTERMESHED WITH SAID REINFORCING MAT TO FIRMLY JOIN THE MARGINAL REINFORCING MAT TO THE FOAM CORE. THE HEAVY-DUTY FOAM LAMINATES HAVE EXTREMELY HIGH STATIC AND DYNAMIC STRENGTH VALUES AND CAN BE USED IN VARIOUS FORMS IN THE BUILDING OF VEHICLES, HOUSING AND FURNITURE OF THE LIKE.
