Abstract: Manufacturing of polyester based expanded materials made mostly of pre-cleaned and compounded post-consumer polyester by increasing the intrinsic viscosity (IV) during an extrusion process is described. By careful selection of processing conditions and parameters, it is possible to obtain low density polyester foam material with good cellular structure and under stable processing conditions.

Abstract: The composition and the preparation of a chain-extending concentrate for production of foamed cellular materials of aromatic polyesters is disclosed in this invention. The chain-extending concentrate includes an ethylene-acrylate copolymer, a high-temperature thermoplastic and a multifunctional compound. The preparation process includes two steps: 1) Mixing and melt blending the multifunctional compound and the HT thermoplastic resin into the matrix of the ethylene-acrylate copolymer in an internal mixer and 2) extrusion of the mixture at a temperature below the melting point or reaction temperature of the multifunctional compound.

Abstract: The foam tube for pipe insulations has an external surface and an internal surface. The internal surface is provided with an adhesively bonded layer of fibers. The fibers are a material having a melt temperature that is higher than that of the polymeric foam. The fibers are adhesively bonded to the internal surface such as to stand up from the internal surface. The fibers are substantially uniformly distributed over the internal surface providing a surface coverage of 2 to 20 percent. Further, the fibers have a linear density of 0.5 to 25 dtex and a length of 0.2 to 5 mm. With this fiber layer the polymeric foam tube has an improved thermal resistance and thermal conductivity.

Abstract: A flexible, composite duct insulation structure includes a first layer forming an insulation layer, and a second layer forming a structural support layer. The first layer is adhered to the second layer by an adhesive. The composite duct insulation structure has sufficient strength and radially outward-directed spring force of the structure alone so as to press and hold the insulation structure against the interior wall of a tubular duct without additional spring structure or retaining structure.

Abstract: The protection profile for a substantially plate-shaped body (30) includes a profile strip (40) made of thermoplastic foam with two flanks (41, 42) and a slat (43). In the receiving space (44) of the profile strip (40) a foil inlay (50) is inserted in such a way that the exposed ends of its sidewalls (51, 52) are firmly joined to the exposed front faces (45, 46) of the flanks (41, 42) and its base wall (53) is arranged at such a distance (54) from the slat (43) that, also with the plate-shaped body (30) inserted in the foil inlay (50), the base wall (53) does not come into contact with the slat (43), but under the weight of the plate-shaped body (30) the foil inlay (50) presses the flanks (41, 42) of the profile strip against the plate-shaped body (30).

Abstract: The hand-held device (21) is used for applying protective profiles (22) made of flexible material and comprising a spine and two lips to edges (24) of objects (23) for the purpose of protecting them. It includes two side panels (26) that are mounted parallel to one another spaced at a fixed distance from one another, a handle (25), and above and between the side panels on the protective profile outlet side a device (32) for guiding and pressing the protective profile (22) onto the edge (24), and below a device (33) in the form of a wedge element (34) for opening up the protective profile in the form of a wedge element (34), and underneath the wedge element (34) a device (37) with a guide surface for guiding the hand-held device (21) along the edge (24).

Abstract: Disclosed is a pressure sensitive adhesive insulation structure for joining two adjacent insulation structures. The pressure sensitive insulation comprises a carrier having a first side and second side. A pressure sensitive adhesive is in communication with the first side and in communication with the second side for adhering an insulation structure, such as those used to insulate piping.

Abstract: The insulated pipe arrangement comprises at least two pipe bodies, each of which has a flexible inner fluid-guiding pipe, which is enclosed by an insulating layer made of elastomeric or thermoplastic foam, a protective film made of a thermoplastic, elastomer, or duromer of high-density being arranged around the insulating layer. The pipe bodies are bonded on opposing peripheral parts of their protective film by a layer of an adhesive which allows detachment of the adhesive bond without the protective film being damaged and which produces a renewed adhesive bond after detachment of the adhesive bond when the peripheral parts of the previous adhesive bond are brought into contact again.

Abstract: An insulating system for pipes is provided which includes at least two different types of pipe insulation, wherein each pipe insulation is a pipe jacket formed by two mating sections, a first section and a second section with each section having a mating surface, wherein further when the two mating sections are put together with the mating surface of the first section exactly abutting the mating surface of the second section, they form a tubular structure having a bore which is a suitable size to receive a pipe. Of the three possible types of pipe insulation available, insulation A, insulation B, and insulation C, each pipe insulation type is formulated to insulate pipes having a different surface temperature, and yet pipe insulations A, B, and C each have identical outer diameters.
