Abstract
Abstract A composite panel for use in the construction industry includes a core of foamed plastic material and a skin on at least one of its faces comprised of a two-ply material consisting of aluminum foil bonded to a mat of randomly oriented glass fibers into which the foam core has been expanded. The core material comprises the rection product of isocyanurate and polyester/polyether polyol with the isocyanurate in sufficient excess to form trimmer rings and to react with the polyol to form urethane linkages. Panels formed of the core material and the two-ply skins have excellent thermal insulation and fire retardant properties and the skins have excellent mechanical strength.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
86 words
A composite building panel comprising: a core of rigid foamed plastic material; protective facing material secured to the front and back surfaces of said core; wherein said foamed core comprises the catalyzed reaction product of isocyanate and a blended polyester/polyether polyol which comprises between about 40%-60% dimethylterephthalate/glycol based polyester polyol mixed with between about 60%-40% alkyloxylated sucrose, or sucrose-amine, based polyether polyol wherein the isocyanate is in sufficient excess to form isocyanurate (trimer) rings and also to react with the polyester/polyether polyol to form urethane linkages.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
86 words
A composite building panel comprising: a core of rigid foamed plastic material; protective facing material secured to the front and back surfaces of said core; wherein said foamed core comprises the catalyzed reaction product of isocyanate and a blended polyester/polyether polyol which comprises between about 40%-60% dimethylterephthalate/glycol based polyester polyol mixed with between about 60%-40% alkyloxylated sucrose, or sucrose-amine, based polyether polyol wherein the isocyanate is in sufficient excess to form isocyanurate (trimer) rings and also to react with the polyester/polyether polyol to form urethane linkages.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
A composite building panel as claimed in claim 1 wherein the foam core has an isocyanate- to hydroxyl-group ratio of between about 1.8:1 and 6.0 to 0:1.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
62 words
A composite building panel as claimed in claim 1 wherein at least one of said protective facing materials includes a skin comprising an outer layer of aluminum foil of approximately 0.0003 inch to 0.0008 inch thickness, backed by and bonded to a mat of randomly oriented glass fibers, said mat being penetrated by said foam to adhere said skin to said core.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
A composite building panel, according to claim 3, wherein the mat comprises glass fibers in the range of 6 to 16 microns in diameter and between about 1/4 of an inch and 11/2 inch in nominal length.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A composite panel, according to claim 4, wherein the mat comprises between about four and thirty pounds of glass fiber per 1,000 square foot of mat.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
107 words
A method of forming a foam core for a composite building panel comprising: providing a polyisocyanate component and a polyol component, said polyol component comprising between 40%-60% dimethylterephthalate/glycol based polyester polyol mixed with between about 60%-40% alkyloxylated sucrose, or sucrose-amine, based polyether polyol; a catalyst, mixture having the catalytic properties of both an organic salt and a tertiary amine; a fluorocarbon blowing agent, and a surfactant mixing the polyisocyante component and the polyol component in proportion between about 1:1 and 2:1 and forming therefrom a foam reaction product resulting from trimerization of the polyisocyanate plus the reaction of the polyisocyanate with the polyol to form urethane linkages.
