Abstract: A method of easily deforming a plate-shape vacuum insulation material and producing a smaller but highly effective insulation container, comprising steps of inserting a thermoplastic open-celled rigid foam as a core material into a packet composed of gas barrier film, evacuating and sealing the packet so as to produce a vacuum insulation material, heating and softening the vacuum insulation material so as to deform the same, and cooling the vacuum insulation material so as to cure the same, and also a freezing and refrigerating container having Peliter element.

Abstract: Heat insulation panels made from plates and the modified polyisocyanurate foams provided by a reaction of a polyisocyanate with a polyol composition mixture comprising a polyol, water, a trimerization catalyst, a carbodiimide catalyst, and an aromatic compound used as a chain extender. An amount of the aromatic compound used in the preparation is 0.5 to 10.0% by weight with respect to a total weight of the polyisocyanate and the polyol mixture.

Abstract: A process for preparation of a polyurethane-polycarbodiimide foam which comprises reacting a polyol component containing a benzylic ether type phenol resin having hydroxymethyl groups with an organic polyisocyanate component in the presence of an organotin catalyst for urethane formation and a carbodiimidating catalyt. According to this process, it is unnecessary to use fluorine-containing halogenated hydrocarbons as a blowing agent, and blowing on the spot is possible using a spray blowing machine or the like.

Abstract: A method for producing a modified polyisocyanurate foam by reacting an organic polyisocyanate, polyol and water in the presence of a trimerizing catalyst composed of a certain hydroxyalkyl quaternary ammonium compound, and a carbodiimidizing catalyst composed of a certain phosphorene oxide. The method enables production of low density modified polyisocyanurate foams with ease and rapidly without using volatile blowing agents such as CFC, HCFC, HFC and methylene chloride.

Abstract: A stampable sheet shaped-product has a skin layer consisting essentially of a foamable thermosetting resin and formed on and in one or both of surfaces of a sheet-like open cell plastic foam. Optionally, a facing material layer of a proper material may be formed on one or both of surfaces of the skin layer. Such stampable sheet shaped-product is produced by applying a composition consisting essentially of a foamable thermosetting resin onto one or both of surfaces of a sheet-like open cell plastic foam, so that the one or both surfaces is or are impregnated with the composition. Optionally, a proper facing material is placed on one or both of the surfaces, and the resulting material is subjected to a hot pressing. Alternatively, the stampable sheet shaped-product may be produced by a process including a thermal treatment step interposed between the above-described applying and hot-pressing steps.

Abstract: A method for producing a non-yellowing polyurethane urea foam, which comprises reacting an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer, obtained by the addition reaction of a polyol having a number average molecular weight of 100 to 5,000 and containing on the average 2 to 3 functional groups with an aliphatic polyisocyanate in an amount of 1.4 to 2.6 times the hydroxyl equivalent, with water in an amount of 0.4 to 5 times the isocyanate equivalent in the presence of, per 100 parts by weight of the prepolymer, 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of a carboxylic acid metal salt or 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of an amine-type catalyst.
