A heatshield is made of a heatshield material including an insulative-fiber matrix fully impregnated with a polyphenylene sulfide resin. The heatshield material may be a multi-layer fiber matrix having higher-weight forms at an outer ablative surface and lower-weight forms more inwardly, for insulation. In one example, PPS fiber is combined with carbon or carbon precursor fibers and both woven into fabric form and manufactured into nonwoven sheet stock. The final tailored stackup may be needled together, and the needled fabric stackup saturated with molten PPS resin.

A fiberglass reinforced aerogel composite may include coarse glass fibers, glass microfibers, aerogel particles, and a binder. The coarse glass fibers may have an average fiber diameter between about 8 m and about 20 m. The glass microfibers may have an average fiber diameter between about 0.5 m and about 3 m. The glass microfibers may be homogenously dispersed within the coarse glass fibers. The aerogel particles may be homogenously dispersed within the coarse glass fibers and the glass microfibers. The fiberglass reinforced aerogel composite may include between about 50 wt. % and about 75 wt. % of the aerogel particles. The binder bonds the coarse glass fibers, the glass microfibers, and the aerogel particles together.

The present invention is directed to a process for preparing a porous material, at least comprising the steps of providing a gel comprising a solvent (S), wherein the solvent (S) has a volume (V1), pressurizing the gel with carbon dioxide at a temperature and a pressure at which carbon dioxide solubilizes in the solvent (S) forming gas-expanded liquid (EL), wherein the gas-expanded liquid (EL) has a volume (V2) and (V2) is greater than (V1); removing supernatant liquid, and drying the gel. The present invention further is directed to the porous material obtained or obtainable according to the process as such as the use of the porous material according to the invention in particular for medical, biomedical and pharmaceutical applications or for thermal insulation.

A vehicle roof glass element having an exterior glass pane and a transparent insulating layer foamed on the inside onto the glass pane has an externally circumferential rim the runner points and the ventilation points of which are provided on the inside of the glass pane. Furthermore, a method and a tool for manufacturing a vehicle roof glass element are described.

A method is shown for installing a heat tube on a section of pre-insulated piping. A metal carrier pipe is covered with a first layer of foam insulation. Next, a routing device is used to cut a longitudinal slot along the length of the pipe so that the pipe exterior surface is exposed from the insulation. A heat tube is then installed within the longitudinal slot, whereby the heat tube contacts the exterior surface of the metal carrier pipe. A second layer of foam insulation is then sprayed onto the exterior of the metal carrier pipe, covering the previously formed longitudinal slot and installed heat tube. A polyolefin coating is then applied over the insulation to form a protective outer jacket for the insulated pipe.

The present invention relates to a process for producing an insulation component in which an insulating foam material is placed in a mold and in which (a) isocyanates, (b) polymeric compound having hydrogen atoms reactive towards isocyanate, (c) chain extenders and/or crosslinkers, and (d) catalysts are mixed to give a reaction mixture and the reaction mixture is injected into the mold and cured to form a seamless outer material enclosing the insulating foam wherein the average functionality of the polyols (b) and the chain extenders and/or crosslinkers (c) and the isocyanates (a) is greater than 2.2. The invention further relates to an insulation component obtainable by such a process and a door or wall component for cold storage that is made from that insulation component.
