The invention relates to a method for producing PUR/PIR rigid foam materials, having the steps of reacting at least one polyester polyol (a), which can be obtained by reacting a. I.) at least one cyclic carboxylic acid anhydride; a.2.) at least one low-molecular dial with a molecular mass of 62 to 450 Da; and a.3.) at least one alkylene oxide; by esterifying the components a.I.) and a.2.) and subsequently oxalkylating the resulting carboxylic acid half-ester using component a.3.); wherein at least the oxalkylation is carried out using a.4.) at least one amine catalyst in which (the) nitrogen atom(s) is/are part of an aromatic ring system, with (b) at least one polyisocyanate-containing component, (c) at least one propellant, (d) at least one or more catalysts, (e) optionally at one flameproofing agent and/or other auxiliary agents, and (f) optionally at least one additional compound with at least two groups which are reactive towards isocyanates and which differ from polyester polyol (a). The invention also relates to a PUR/PIR rigid foam material which can be obtained using a method according to the invention, to a composite element comprising the PUR/PIR rigid foam material according to the invention, at least one cover layer selected from concrete, wood, press board, aluminum, copper, steel, stainless steel, paper, non-wovens, and plastic, and multilayer composites or a combination thereof. The invention also relates to the use of the PUR/PIR rigid foam materials according to the invention or the composite element according to the invention for heat damping.

A process for fabricating a unitized structure comprises creating a multilayer structure by applying a flame-retardant resin to a first layer and stacking, on the first layer, an intermediate layer comprising a honeycomb structure. Further, a second layer is stacked on the intermediate layer and the flame-retardant resin is applied to the second layer. The multilayer structure is then heated to a desired temperature and a pressure is applied about the multilayer structure for a predetermined process time. Moreover, the flame-retardant resin is prevented from entering spaces of the honeycomb structure. After elapse of the predetermined process time, the pressure is released, creating the unitized structure.

A fire-resistant (FR) drainage mat, which may be used with a multi-component fire-resistant assembly for use in various forms of construction. One or both faces of the mat have a plurality of grooves or channels, configured to serve as moisture or water flow channels. The grooves may extend in one direction, generally parallel to an edge of the panel. Alternatively, the grooves may extend in two directions, may overlap and form a grid, or take other forms. The mat is made is made of solid, rigid or semi-rigid mineral wool, fiber rock, curtain rock, thermafiber, or the like. It also may have a backing, such as a paper backing, a board, or thermafiber backing.

The present invention relates to a multi-layer wood composite block, a multi-layer wood veneer and methods for producing the same. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the multi-layer wood veneer as a decorative and/or trim element, in particular in a vehicle interior, and articles comprising the multi-layer wood veneer.

The present invention provides an adhered structure in which members of the same or different materials are adhered to each other with a high adhesive strength and a method for producing the adhered structure. The adhered structure of the present invention comprises a first solid member, a second solid member, and an adhesive member. The first solid member and the second solid member are adhered to each other through the adhesive member. The adhesive member contains a polymer. The polymer is chemically bonded to the first solid member and the second solid member.

A roofing shingle having a fire-retardant material added to the shingle in specific locations is provided. In one aspect a roofing system with two or more asphalt-coated substrates and a sealant material provided between the substrates is provided. The sealant material adheres an overlying and underlying shingle together and can contain a fire-retardant material. In a second aspect of the present invention, a multi-layer laminated shingle is provided with an adhesive material between one or more asphalt-coated substrates which adheres the asphalt-coated substrates together and can contain a fire-retardant material.
