Abstract:
Improved shaped articles, particularly sheets or slabs, of phenolic resin foam having a covering material adhered to at least one side thereof which covering material is a fibercontaining, porous and water vapor permeable material which has impregnated into at least the side thereof to be adhered to the foam: phenolaldehyde liquid condensation product; or solutions or dispersions of polyamides, polybutadienes and/or polyvinyl acetal.
Abstract:
A process for the continuous manufacture of phenolic resin foam in an endless sheet which includes mixing expandable liquid phenolic resin with a blowing agent and an acid-containing curing agent, optionally with the addition of additives, and processing of the mixture in a temperature-controllable double belt press. The process also comprises cooling the phenolic resin to a temperature of from about 8* to 15*C., admixing a blowing agent under a high pressure with said resin to form a resin premix, mixing said resin premix with a curing agent resin to form a resin premix, mixing said resin premix with a curing agent and other foam additives to form a curable reaction mixture, continuously applying said mixture uniformily onto a moving substrate, covering the mixture on said substrate with a continuous protective layer, passing the covered mixture into the double belt press, and foaming the mixture under pressure until a desired sheet thickness has been obtained.
Abstract:
A method for adhering an organic substance to a metallic or inorganic oxidic substance which comprises disposing between said organic substance and said metallic or inorganic oxidic substance a phosphorus organosilane of the general formula
WHEREIN EACH R is independently a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic radical, each A is a bivalent alkylene or arylene radical or a bivalent oxyalkylene or oxyarylene radical joined by its oxygen to the phosphorus atom, m, n, p and x are each values of 0 or 1, B is either a bivalent oxygen radical, an -NHradical, an -NR- radical or an -S- radical when p is equal to 1 and y is equal to 1 to 20.
Abstract:
A RESOL-BASED PHENOLIC RESIN FOAM HAVING AN IMPROVED RESISTANCE TO HEAT AND FIRE, HAVING A DENSITY OF ABOUT 20 TO 200 KG./M.3, A SHRINKAGE OF ABOUT 0.1 TO 2.8% AND THE ABSENCE OF THE ANY TENDENCY TO FISSURE UPON EXPOSURE FOR 30 MINUTES TO A TEMPERATURE OF 450*C. IN A MUFFLE FURNACE, THE SHRINKAGE AND FISSURING TESTS BEING MADE ON FOAM SLABS HAVING THE DIMENSIONS 250 MM. X 130 MM. X 30 MM. THE FOAM IS PRODUCED BY INCLUDING IN A LIQUID PHENOL-RESOL RESIN HAVING A SOLID RESIN CONTENT OF ABOUT 60 TO 85% BY WEIGHT ABOUT 2 TO 30% BY WEIGHT BASED ON THE RESIN, OF A NORMALLY HYDROCARBON LIQUID. BORIC ACID MAY ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THE MIX WHICH ALSO CONTAINS AN ACID HARDENING AGENT AND A GAS FOAMING AGENT WHICH RELEASES A GAS OR IS A LOW-BOILING ORGANIC SOLVENT.
