Disclosed are a polyurethane foam composition for sound-absorbing materials, a method for manufacturing a polyurethane foam and a polyurethane foam manufactured using the method. Particularly, disclosed are a composition containing a polyol mixture including a polyol and an additive, and isocyanate, and the manufacture of a low-density polyurethane foam for sound-absorbing materials, which is imparted with improved appearance formability, reduced smell and enhanced sound absorption performance by controlling the content of the composition and the conditions for foaming the composition.

A flame-resistant polyurethane foam material, including a polyurethane prepared by reacting an isocyanate with a polyester polyol, wherein the isocyanate has two or more isocyanate groups, and the polyester polyol has two or more hydroxyl groups and a terephthalic acid structure. The flame-resistant polyurethane foam material may further include a flame retardant which is a phosphate ester with a benzene structure; a foaming agent which is water or pentane; and a catalyst which is a tertiary amine or an organometallic compound. The flame-resistant polyurethane foam material has significantly improved flame resistance due to the polyurethane prepared by using the polyester polyol with a high content of terephthalic acid structure as raw material and due to using the phosphate ester with a benzene structure as a flame retardant.

A process for manufacturing an object involves the steps of: I) depositing a radically cross-linked resin on a carrier so that a layer of a structuring material joined to the carrier is obtained, said layer corresponding to a first selected cross-section of the object; II) depositing a radically cross-linked resin on a previously applied layer of the structuring material so that an additional layer of the structuring material is obtained which corresponds to a further selected cross-section of the object and which is joined to the previously applied layer; III) repeating step II) until the object is formed, wherein the deposition of a radically cross-linked resin in steps I) and II) includes the application of a radically cross-linkable resin to the carrier or the previously applied layer and is performed at least in step II) by applying energy to a selected region of a radically cross-linkable resin, corresponding to the selected cross-section of the object, the radically cross-linkable resin having a viscosity (23 C., DIN EN ISO 2884-1) of 5 mPas to 100,000 mPas. The invention further relates to the use of such a resin in an additive manufacturing process. The radically cross-linkable resin comprises a curable component which is obtained by reacting a polyisocyanate or a polyisocyanate descendant containing at least one oxadiazine trione group (formula I) with a compound that contains acrylate, methacrylate or vinyl ether double bonds and 25 Zerewitinoff active H atoms.

Technologies are generally described for hybrid acoustic damping materials that may be used in noise, vibration, and harshness mitigation. In some examples, solvated acrylic, silicone, and/or urethane materials may be blended in selected proportions to form a hybrid acoustic damping material. Characteristics of the components of the hybrid acoustic damping material such as viscosity and proportions may be selected for a desired composite loss factor vs. temperature characteristic of the material. In some examples, a broad temperature range of damping or a targeted temperature region may be achieved based on the composition of the hybrid acoustic damping material. To achieve a uniform stable blend with a consistent viscosity, individual component materials may be selected with similar molecular weight/viscosity. Compatible solvents may be added during blending of the components. In various example applications, the hybrid acoustic damping material may be used in vehicle brake applications to reduce brake noise/vibration.
