  • Patent number: 8945683
    Abstract: A prepreg of FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) having with (i) a matrix resin composition containing a bifunctional isocyanate and/or a trifunctional isocyanate, a polyol and a bifunctional chain extender having two active hydrogen groups at a molar ratio, as a functional group, of isocyanate:polyol:chain extender=5.0 to 1.0:1.0:4.0 to 0, or containing a bifunctional isocyanate and/or a trifunctional isocyanate and a polyol at a molar ratio, as a functional group, of liquid isocyanate:polyol=0.9 to 1.1:1.0; and (ii) a fibrous material. A production process of the prepreg. According to the present invention, the prepreg has a sufficient pot life and permits convenient production of an FRP molding.

  • Patent number: 7695588
    Abstract: Provided are a matrix resin composition for fiber reinforced plastic, which comprises a bifunctional or trifunctional liquid diisocyanate, a bifunctional polyol and a bifunctional chain extender containing an active hydrogen group, with a molar ratio of the functional groups of the diisocyanate, polyol and chain extender of 5.0 to 1.0:1.0:4.0 to 0, respectively; and a process for producing fiber reinforced plastic, which comprises impregnating a fibrous material with the resin composition and then curing. The present invention makes it possible to produce a molding containing fibers densely, having excellent strength and inflatability, in the production of an FRP molding by using a thermosetting resin having an extended pot life.

  • Patent number: 7380774
    Abstract: A humidifier is superior in terms of hygiene, simple in terms of maintenance, humidity is easily adjusted, and energy consumption is low. The humidifier uses, as a moisture permeable membrane, a moisture-permeable polyurethane obtained by using, as raw materials, at least an isocyanate component, a diol as a chain extender, and polyethylene glycol as a polyol component, and reacting these raw materials.
