PROCESS FOR PREPARING SOLID POLYURETHANE FOAM WITH OPEN PORES AND ITS USE AS INSULATING MATERIAL IN PANELS AND AS AN INSULATING FOAM

摘要

Prodn. of open-celled rigid polyurethane foams (I) is effected by application of an external pressure to (partly) closed-cell rigid polyurethane foams (II), pref. by conventional mfr. of (II) in a mould followed by covering the mould with a gas-impermeable film and applying pressure. Also claimed is use of (I) as a filler material in evacuated insulation panels, with (I) being enclosed in a plastics and/or metal gas-impermeable film prior to the evacuation.
