Abstract

Abstract Laminate structures comprising a foamed polyurethane or polyisocyanurate resin core with a facer material uniformly adhered thereto with an adhesive material having functional groups capable of interacting chemically with isocyanate groups in the foamed resin core are disclosed. Suitable adhesive materials include alpha -olefin-acid copolymers, ethylene vinyl alcohol, polyimides, polyamines and phenolic resins. The bond between the foam core and the facer material has a peel strength of at least 1.5 lbs/in., preferably 5 lbs/in.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim 85 words
A laminate structure comprising a core in the form of a foamed polyurethane or polyisocyanurate resin and a facer material bonded to at least one face of the core with an adhesive material comprising a material having functional groups selected from acid groups, hydroxyl groups, amide groups and amine groups which groups are capable of interacting chemically with isocyanate groups in the polurethane or polyisocyanurate resin, the peel strength of the bond between the core and the facer material being at least about 1.5 lbs./in.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 85 words
A laminate structure comprising a core in the form of a foamed polyurethane or polyisocyanurate resin and a facer material bonded to at least one face of the core with an adhesive material comprising a material having functional groups selected from acid groups, hydroxyl groups, amide groups and amine groups which groups are capable of interacting chemically with isocyanate groups in the polurethane or polyisocyanurate resin, the peel strength of the bond between the core and the facer material being at least about 1.5 lbs./in.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 17 words
A laminate structure according to claim 1 where said peel strength is st least about 5 lbs/in.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 27 words
A laminate according to claims 1 or 2 where the adhesive material comprises a material selected from α-olefin-acid copolymers, ethylene vinyl alcohol, polyamides, polyamines and phenolic resins.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 14 words
A laminate according to claim 3 where the adhesive material comprises ethylene vinyl alcohol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 14 words
A laminate according to claim 3 where the adhesive material comprises an α-olefin-acid copolymer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 29 words
A laminate according to claim 5 where the adhesive material comprises an ethylene-methacrylic acid or ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer with an acid content of about 1 to 20 weight %.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 55 words
A process for preparing a laminate structure of claim 1 comprising coating one side of said facer material with said adhesive material, contacting the coated side of said facer material with the prefoam chemicals for said foamed polyurethane or polyisocyanurate resin, and allowing said prefoam chemicals to foam in contact with said coated facer material.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 16 words
The process of claim 7 where the adhesive material is extrusion coated onto the facer material.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 119 words
A laminate structure comprising a core in the form of a foamed polyurethane or polyisocyanurate resin and a facer material bonded to at least one face of the core with an adhesive material comprising a material having functional groups groups selected from acid groups, hydroxyl groups, amide groups and amine groups which groups are capable of interacting chemically with isocyanate groups in the polyurethane or polyisocyanurate resins, said laminate structure prepared by the process comprising coating one side of said facer material with said adhesive material, contacting the coated side of sdaid facer material with the prefoam chemicals for said foamed polyurethane or polyisocyanurate resin, and allowing said prefoam chemicals to foam in contact with said coated facer material.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 119 words
A laminate structure comprising a core in the form of a foamed polyurethane or polyisocyanurate resin and a facer material bonded to at least one face of the core with an adhesive material comprising a material having functional groups groups selected from acid groups, hydroxyl groups, amide groups and amine groups which groups are capable of interacting chemically with isocyanate groups in the polyurethane or polyisocyanurate resins, said laminate structure prepared by the process comprising coating one side of said facer material with said adhesive material, contacting the coated side of sdaid facer material with the prefoam chemicals for said foamed polyurethane or polyisocyanurate resin, and allowing said prefoam chemicals to foam in contact with said coated facer material.
