Abstract: A method of making a safety helmet includes using a molding tool having an upper mold cavity and a lower mold cavity. The upper mold cavity is preheated and is then coated with a layer of releasing agent. The releasing agent layer is coated subsequently with a layer of polyurethane lacquer, which is caused by the residual heat of the preheated upper mold cavity to form a smooth film layer. A plastic shell of the safety helmet is disposed in the lower mold cavity. A foam material is injected into the plastic shell before the molding tool is closed. As the foaming process is completed, the molding tool is opened to remove therefrom a safety helmet including the shell, the foam layer formed of the foam material, and the smooth film layer which is formed integrally with the foam layer for providing the user of the safety helmet with wearing comfort.

The mold release agent is readily burned out during subsequent firing or sintering operations, so as not to leave an undesirable residue in the surface of the fired or sintered ceramic article. Furthermore, the mold release agent does not have an undesirable effect on the microstructure of the as-cast or sintered ceramic article, nor does its use result in any detectible surface or internal cracks in the as-cast or sintered ceramic article.

Abstract: A process for the continuous or semi-continuous production of cellular plastic from a plastic mass containing a blowing agent and, optionally, other process-regulative substances and additives. The process starts by raw materials to a plastic processing machine and kneading the raw materials in the plastic processing machine under conditions of temperature and pressure which will produce an expanding mass only upon release of pressure. The expanding mass is transferred directly to a cooling zone to produce a continuous mass having high viscosity and rigidity and an approximately flat velocity profile under pressure formed by an upstream-directed pressure component. At varying intervals the plastic mass is transferred to a braking-retaining zone which may be an integral part of the cooling zone for build-up of the upstream-directed pressure component until the pressure in the plastic mass in the zones located upstream is sufficient to prevent expansion of the plastic mass.
