Abstract: In a process known per se for producing base materials copper-clad on at least one side, in which a winding core carrying a copper foil is wound with a reinforcing fiber, the laid fibers are impregnated with a solvent-free resin and the resin is cured fully to reach the C-stage, it is proposed to use, as the resin, a solvent-free epoxy-isocyanurate resin having a viscosity at processing temperature of less than 1000 mPa.s and an NCO content of more than 20%.

Abstract: A process for producing a layered material in sheet or membrane form from thermoplastic foam is described. The laminated material is suitable in particular for use as a drainage sheet or membrane. To produce the membrane, the thermoplastic foam in the form of strips, lengths, shreds or the like is piled up to form a layer of uniform height and compressed and compacted at a temperature below the softening temperature of the foam. Subsequently, the compressed and compacted layer of thermoplastic foam is perforated and fused with the aid of pins which are heated to a temperature of 400.degree. to 800.degree. C., whereupon the perforated and fused layer is cooled while maintaining the compression.

Abstract: A residue from the production of chlorosilanes from raw silicon is treated with steam and aditionally with nitrogen-oxygen mixtures. The resulting residue has a lower chloride content.
