  • Components
    Publication number: 20070122510
    Abstract: Components useful for the provision of structural reinforcement of hollow profiles and/or sealants and/or acoustic baffles are provided. The components comprise a carrier in which is formed a plurality of cavities for receipt of foamable material, the foam may then be foamed to bridge the gap between the carrier and the internal surface of the hollow profile to form a bond there between. Different types of foam may be employed in different cavities to provide a multifunctional component.

  • Laminar mouldings
    Publication number: 20050285292
    Abstract: Laminar mouldings including a foamable material adhering to a moulded substrate are produced by providing a piece of foamable material within a mould and moulding the substrate within the mould at a temperature above the normal foaming temperature of the foamable material so that it adheres to the foamable material but does not cause it to foam. The moulding process may be injection moulding or blow moulding and the mouldings are useful as acoustic baffles or structural reinforcement for automobiles.
