A method for the development of a thermally insulating sandwich-structured laminate, such as a sandwich-structured laminate of a housing of a climate chamber for the high temperature range, with an internal wall and an external wall, can include the method steps: providing the internal wall, adhering at least one high temperature stable insulation panel onto the internal wall, positioning the external wall with respect to the internal wall such that between the internal wall and the external wall the at least one high temperature stable insulation panel and a hollow volume are developed. The method can further include filling the hollow volume with a PUR foam for the formation of a second rigid foam layer connecting the at least one high temperature stable insulation panel and the external wall.

A refrigerator door includes an outer plate that is made of metal and defines a front surface of the refrigerator door, a door liner that is coupled to the outer plate and defines a rear surface of the refrigerator door, an insulator disposed in a space defined between the outer plate and the door liner and made of polyurethane, and a foam cushion disposed at a rear surface of the outer plate and configured to expand or contract based on a change of a volume of the insulator.

There is provided a skin foam-in-place foamed article comprising a pad (15) and a bag-like outer material (20) covering the pad (15). The outer material (20) has a top layer (21) and a liner layer (22) made of a foamed resin. The liner layer (22) has a closed cell structure. A pad-side skin layer (27a) having a density higher than that of a bulk layer (26) is provided on the liner layer (22), on a side of the pad (15). A corona treatment is applied to the pad-side skin layer (27a).

A structural carrier comprising: a foam core and an outer layer, the foam core and the outer layer being free of structurally reinforcing ribs and open pockets, wherein the structural carrier is curable at a temperature of about 0° C. to about 50° C. The structural carrier may also foam at room temperature. The structural carrier may have an adhesive material disposed on at least a portion of the outer layer.

A refrigerator which comprises a housing, a refrigerating inner liner, a freezing inner liner and a foaming layer formed between the housing, the refrigerating inner liner and the freezing inner liner; the housing comprises a back plate and two side plates, and the foaming layer comprises a first foaming zone disposed close to the back plate, a second foaming zone disposed close to the side plates and a third foaming zone disposed in an interior of the middle beam, and the third foaming zone is connected to the second foaming zone; the refrigerator further comprises a sealing device that at least partially spaces the first foaming zone apart from the third foaming zone. After the foaming material reaches the first foaming zone, a lot of foaming material may be limited from entering the interior of the middle beam, so that the filling uniformity can be further improved effectively.

A register box for an HVAC installation has a body with a plurality of side panels arranged in a generally rectangular or square configuration and a wall extending in generally transverse relation to the plurality of side panels, and an expandable polymeric material affixed to an inner side of the side panels and across the wall. The wall has a plurality of concentric circular areas cut into the wall. Each of the concentric areas is formed of a first partial circle having ends in spaced relation to a second partial circle. The circular area can be removed from the wall so as to allow a user to cut through the polymeric material at the wall so as to form a hole opening to an interior of the register box. This hole can receive a collar therein. The collar can be connected to the HVAC system.
