Abstract: A fireproof laminate passing Grade 2 incombustibility according to Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) A-1321 combustion test is disclosed. The laminate comprises a urethane modified polyisocyanurate foam as a core material and particular surface materials piled on both sides of the foam through self-adhesion of the foam and has a density of the core material of 0.02-0.04 g/cm.sup.3 and a total thickness of not more than 30 mm.

Abstract: A laminate having excellent flameproofing and low-smoke development is disclosed. The laminate comprises an urethane modified polyisocyanurate foam as a core material and an aluminum foil or sheet as a surface material piled on at least one surface of the foam through a self-adhesion of the foam and passes Grade 2 incombustibility according to Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) A-1321 combustion test.

Abstract: Polyisocyanurate foams having excellent heat resistance and flame resistance are produced by using no common organic silicone surfactant or using less than 0.2% by weight based on an organic polyisocyanate, of said organic silicone surfactant, when producing a polyisocyanurate foam by reacting an organic polyisocyanate, a blowing agent and a catalyst for trimerizing isocyanate and if necessary a surfactant, a modifier and the other additives.

Abstract: An excellent flame- and smoke-retardant non-shrinkable polyurethane foam is prepared by reacting a polyhydroxyl compound consisting of(A) a polyol having at least two hydroxyl groups and having a molecular weight of from 1,000 to 10,000, and(B) an aliphatic amino alcohol, the amount of which is 2.1 to 8.0 equivalents per hydroxyl group of the polyol (A) with an organic polyisocyanate in the presence of water and/or other blowing agents, catalysts and surfactants.The polyurethane foam thus obtained has high resilience together with an improved S.A.G. factor.

Abstract: An excellent flame- and smoke-resistant polyurethane foam is produced by reacting a polyol, a polyisocyanate and an amine-carbamate of primary or secondary amine having hydroxyl group in the presence of a catalyst and a surfactant.

Abstract: A thermoplastic and organic solvent-soluble poly(amide-imide) elastomer having a number average molecular weight ranging from 10,000 to 100,000, prepared by reacting (1) an acid anhydride functional polymer, represented by the following formula ##STR1## or a mixture of said acid anhydride functional polymer (1) and a tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride, with (2) a dicarboxylic acid dihydrazide in the presence of an aprotic dipolar solvent at a temperature ranging from -10.degree. C to 30.degree. C.
