  • Publication number: 20120172470
    Abstract: Polyether polyols are initiated 1,3- and/or 1,4-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane) and with either or both of a methylene bis(cyclohexylamine) compound and a cyclohexanediamine compound. The polyols are useful in making rigid polyurethane foams, especially foams for pour-in-place applications, where they give a good combination of low k-factor and short demold times.

  • Patent number: 8167598
    Abstract: A filling shoe for rotary tablet presses, comprising a filling shoe housing with at least one discharge opening for a starting product which is to be compressed and with a seal for sealing the gap between the die plate and filling shoe housing, which seal can be fastened exchangeably to a bottom wall of the filling shoe housing. In order to make it possible to achieve shorter downtimes when changing the seals, the seal in the mounted state is fastened to the bottom wall by means of magnetic force. Changing the seal can then take place, if appropriate even without any further aids, by overcoming the magnetic holding force and replacing the seal with a new seal. The invention also relates to the seal for sealing the gap, which seal can be fastened according to the invention by means of magnetic elements.

  • Publication number: 20110196055
    Abstract: A process for preparing a cavity-filling, fast-gelling closed cell rigid polyurethane foam comprises preparing a formulation including at least a polyisocyanate, a relatively high viscosity polyol system including at least about 10 percent by weight of an amine-initiated polyol, a physical blowing agent, a blowing catalyst and a curing catalyst, and, optionally, less than about 1.6 weight percent of water based on the polyol system. Other conventional components, such as a chain extender and/or crosslinker, surfactant, and the like may also be included. The formulation is injected under a reduced atmospheric pressure to achieve a closed cell, rigid polyurethane foam having a density of less than about 40 kg/m3, an average cell diameter of less than about 250 microns, and a thermal conductivity of less than about 19 mW/mK at 10° C. average plate temperature.

  • Patent number: 7967592
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary table press with washing device and to a rotor for it, said rotor being provided at least with a bottom-punch guide ring (11) having guides (12) for bottom punches and with a die plate (17) arranged between the punch guide rings, wherein at least one sealing element (26) interacting with the associated punch is provided for the bottom punches. In order to improve the use of an automatic washing device, a leakage passage (30) for draining off the washing liquid is formed according to the invention in the bottom-punch guide ring for each bottom punch guide. The leakage passages are preferably to perform their draining function only when leakages are occur unnoticed at individual sealing elements of the bottom punch guides.
