  • Patent number: 7972676
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of fiber-reinforced composite components in which an outer film is bonded with a layer containing fiber-reinforced polyurethane, characterised in that a) first an elastic intermediate layer which has a modulus of elasticity of 0.5 MPa to 50 MPa and a thickness of 0.3 mm to 6 mm, is applied to the outer film which has a thickness in the range of 0.2 mm to 5 mm, and then b) at least one other layer is applied to the back of the intermediate layer, at least one layer containing fiber-reinforced polyurethane being applied.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20070128372
    Abstract: Molded articles comprising at least one layer of polyurethane are produced in a batch process by mixing polyurethane-forming components to form a reactive mixture that is flowed through a channel having at least one opening through which a gas is introduced and sprayed on a substrate surface. The device suitable for carrying out this batch process includes a cylindrical mixing chamber, a flow channel through which the reactive mixture flows and is sprayed onto the surface of a substrate where it cures thereon. The flow channel is cleaned by a stream of gas.

  • Publication number: 20060127589
    Abstract: A device and process for the production of single- or multi-layered films or compound moldings which have at least one layer of reactive plastic. The liquid reactive mixture is sprayed from a spray nozzle on to a surface. The jet spray is set in oscillation and the amplitude and/or frequency of the oscillation is adjusted during the spraying operation. Adjustment of the oscillation changes the spray area.
