Abstract: A pressurized steam molded multilayer lining for heat and sound insulation comprising a first layer forming a reinforcement layer made of a blended web of polyamide matrix material in the form of powder or fibers or flakes and reinforcement fibers, and at least a second layer chosen from an open cell foam layer, or a heat reflecting layer, or a second reinforcement layer made of a blended web of polyamide matrix material in the form of powder or fibers or flakes and reinforcement fibers, and whereby due to the pressurized steam molding, all layers are laminated together and all available blended webs are consolidated to form porous reinforcement layers.

Abstract: Production method for a multilayer lining for thermal and sound insulation with the steps of blending reinforcement fibers and polyamide matrix material, in the form of fibers, flakes or powder, and forming a web of said blend; layering said blended web and at least an additional layer chosen from an open cell foam layer, a heat reflective layer, or another of said blended web inside a mold; treating the stacked multilayer material with pressurized saturated steam, such that the polyamide matrix material in the blended web is melting at a temperature under steam pressure that is lower than the melting temperature of the polyamide matrix according to DSC, thereby binding the reinforcement fibers together thus consolidating the blended web forming a porous reinforcement layer, and all layers of the multilayer are laminated together.

Abstract: Composite moulded product comprising of at least one polyamide-reinforcement layer consisting of a polyamide matrix and reinforcement fibers, characterised in that the polyamide-reinforcement layer is porous due to the consolidation using a pressurised steam process.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and an apparatus for the production of three-dimensionally thin products using injection moulding of polymer based material. By dividing one of the mould halves in at least two groups of elements, whereby at least a first group of at least one element forms a rim cavity and a stop, defined as an area of the element contacting the other halve if the mould is in the closed position, and at least a second group of at least one element forms the main body part of the cavity, whereby all the elements together form with the other mould halve one cavity, and whereby each of the groups of elements is connected to its own means for clamping, it is possible to produce a set of different products with a constant rim thickness and a variable thickness of the main body part of the product.

Abstract: An insert element (8) for sealing cavities (6, 7) in vehicle body carriers (4) has sealing means constituted by a foamable material (11) which is secured in the cavities (6, 7) by securing means (9). The insert element (8) comprises a foamable material (11) and a support structure (10) which comprises a frame (13) and an inner part (14) for carrying the foamable material (11). The frame (13) has at least two lateral and not immediately oppositely arranged support faces (12), and carries securing means (9). With this arrangement, the foamable material can completely engulf the securing means (9) with foam during the foaming process and can flow into apertures of an intermediate metal sheet (5) foreseen for receiving the securing means (9). This ensures that these apertures are impermeably sealed against air and noise during the foaming process.
