Abstract: Sandwich-like lightweight shaped articles consist of a core material containing expandable graphite expanded according to the mould and if appropriate a binder, and at least one covering layer of thermoplastic material.

Abstract: Mouldings containing expanded expandable graphite are characterised in that they additionally contain acid phosphates of metals of group 2 and/or 3 of the periodic table of the elements and/or pyrolysis products thereof. Such mouldings are distinguished by the fact that they have low odour and are mechanically stable, and, when in contact with water, do not have pH values which are too low.

Abstract: Improved stiffening materials containing hydraulic binders are obtained by applying a hydraulic binder, if appropriate in mixture with reactive binders, in powder form to a sheetlike material, for example a bandage fabric, compacting the hydraulic binder in contact with the sheetlike material, and winding the sheetlike material thus provided with the compacted hydraulic binder into rolls.
