Patent number: 5883143Abstract: A method and device are described for the production of foams from two-component reactive mixtures using carbon dioxide as expanding agent, by mixing at least one of the reactive components with carbon dioxide under pressure. That mixture is then mixed with the other reactive component(s) to form a foamable reactive mixture, which is expanded and cured to form the final product. The foamable reactive mixture is expanded to ambient pressure through at least one fine-meshed screen (21a, 21b, 21c).Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1998Date of Patent: March 16, 1999Assignees: Bayer Aktiengesellschaft, Maschinenfabrik Hennecke GmbHInventors: Robert Eiben, Wilfried Ebeling, Hans-Michael Sulzbach, Reiner Raffel
