Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the separation of isocyanate monomers from isocyanate-containing mixtures by the provision of the mixture in a solvent and dialysis of the dissolved mixture against the solvent by means of a permeable membrane having a pore size in the range of between 5 and 400 nm. The method may in particular be employed for the separation of isocyanate monomers from prepolymers containing isocyanate groups, with said prepolymers being used for the production of adhesives, insulating, and expanding foams.

Abstract: The invention relates to an application device for a two-component spray foam for fire protection purposes comprising a first pressurized can with a component A containing a polyisocyanate and a first propellant gas component, a second pressurized can with a component B, containing at least one flameproofing agent in fine-particle form suspended in a polyol component, and a second propellant gas component, a retaining fixture for the first and second pressurized can, with said fixture being provided with a valve receptacle for each of the pressurize cans, a discharging aid for the spray foam, said discharging aid being connected via hose lines to the valve receptacles for the pressurized cans, and a forced mixer that mixes component A with component B when the discharging aid is activated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition which can be foamed from pressurized containers. Said composition is based on an aqueous plastic dispersion containing an aqueous dispersion of at least one film-forming plastic material consisting of 30% to 80% by weight of a film-forming plastic material, a propellant gas amounting between 3% to 25% by weight in relation to the entire composition and one or more ionic foam stabilizers amounting between 0.3 and 6% by weight in relation to the entire composition. The foamed compositions can he used as scaling, damping and insulating materials.

Abstract: A prepolymer composition for producing polyurethane insulating foams from pressure tanks which consists of a prepolymer component with at least one PU prepolymer with a content of NCO groups of 4 to 20 wt % and usual additives, as well as a propellant component, wherein a polyisocyanate with a content of less than 2 wt %, based on the prepolymer component, of monomeric isocyanate is used.

Abstract: The invention relates to a prepolymer composition, in particular for producing insulating foams, based on a polyisocyanate with a functionality of at least 2 and a polyol with at least two OH groups in the molecule, the prepolymer having an isocy-anate content of 6 to 20 wt % and the composition containing usual additives and a propellant gas component which is liquid under pressure, and the prepolymer com-position containing at least 18 wt % of propellant gas based on the weight of the composition, said propellant gas component being present in the form of a propellant phase emulsified in the prepolymer composition alongside the moiety dissolved in the prepolymer composition.

Abstract: A process for recycling of packings containing reactive residues wherein the packings are introduced into a cold zone and cooled until the residues contained therein solidify and are then crushed in the cooled state, the crushed packings are divided into a fraction containing the reactive residues and at least one further fraction, the residue-containing fraction is introduced into a mixing zone into which an agent reactive with the residues is simultaneously introduced, optionally together with a catalyst, the temperature in the mixing zone being held below the softening temperature of the residues and the reactive agent, and the resulting mixture of residue-containing fraction and reactive agent and optionally catalyst is brought to a temperature sufficient for reaction and reacted in a reaction zone.

Abstract: In a process for producing substantially homogeneous mixtures of reactive substances the substances are brought into a cold zone separately from one another and cooled until they exist in a solid and unreactive state, and then introduced into a mixing zone in a finely dispersed state and mixed together there, the temperature in the mixing zone being held below the softening temperature of the mixing obtained therein.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for processing residue-containing packages so as to receive valuable materials, in particular pressure containers for dispensing foams with propellant gases. For that purpose, extraction with a solvent is carried out essentially in atmosphere of propellant gas and/or solvent vapors.

Abstract: A pressurized can for the expulsion of building foams such as single-component polyurethane foams, the body of which is a cylinder, with a preferably pushed-in bottom. The body also includes a dome-like top section with a valve which expels the can contents consisting of a product component and a propellant. A floating plunger mounted on the interior wall of the cylinder separates the propellant gas chamber from the product component. The floating plunger has a cavity in its upper side, in which a component reactive with the product component is sealed off from the product component by a seal. A trigger device is placed in the dome-like top section to open the seal when the plunger reaches a position immediately below the dome-like top section.

Abstract: In a multi-chamber container (1), in which is accomodated at least one chamber partition wall (4) movable through the two chambers and having at least one orifice (8) which makes a connection between the two adjacent chambers (2, 3) and interacts with a shutoff member and which can be opened and closed via a tappet (10) actuable from outside, the chamber partition wall (4) sealed off on the inside of the container being movable through the container (1), according to the invention the orifice (8) in the chamber partition wall (4) is equipped to receive a thread of a valve spindle (23) which can be screwed in by means of the tappet and which terminates at a stop (24) interacting with one side (26) of the chamber partition wall (4) and at a valve plate (32) formed by a ring (32) of the rod and ensuring sealing on the opposite side (35) of the chamber partition wall (4), the valve plate (24) and the stop (32) being layable onto their seats (27, 23) as a result of an alternating rotation of the rod (10), and the
