  • Patent number: 9757885
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing composite profiles comprising at least two metal shells which are joined by struts comprising a thermoplastic material and a core comprising rigid polyurethane foam, which comprises introduction of the starting components of the rigid polyurethane foam into a hollow space formed by the metal shells, with the rigid polyurethane foam being formed, and subsequent application of a surface coating to the outer surface of the composite profile by means of a powder coating or baking enamel, where the rigid polyurethane foam is obtained by reaction of the following components: A) at least one polyisocyanate, B) at least one polyfunctional compound which is reactive toward isocyanates, C) one or more blowing agents comprising at least formic acid, D) optionally one or more flame retardants, E) optionally one or more catalysts and F) optionally further auxiliaries or additives, wherein the starting components of the rigid polyurethane foam do not comprise any

  • Patent number: 8852691
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of composites, composed of at least one outer layer b) and of an isocyanate-based rigid foam a), where the outer layer b) is moved continuously and the starting material for the isocyanate-based rigid foam a) is applied to the outer layer b), which comprises achieving the application of the liquid starting material for the isocyanate-based rigid foam a) by means of at least one fixed tube c) which has openings f) and which has been placed, with respect to the outer layer b), so as to be parallel to the plane of the outer layer and at right angles to the direction of movement.

  • Patent number: 8578876
    Abstract: An apparatus for application of liquids to a continuously conveyed outer layer having a rotating plate which is horizontal and parallel to the outer layer or with a deviation of up to 15° from horizontal, wherein a liquid applied to the rotating plate is ejected centrifugally from the rotating plate via rotation and then, via gravity, passed onto the outer layer below the rotating plate, is provided.
