Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a method for producing shaped articles comprising a thermoplastics show surface and a backing layer of a rigid polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam by applying a foamable polyurethane or polyisocyanurate composition which is substantially free from appreciable amounts of halocarbon blowing agents, in a closed mould to one face of a shaped thermoplastic sheet provided to one of the matching parts constituting said mould.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
31 words
Shaped article having a show surface of thermoplastic material with a reinforcement of a rigid polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam, characterised in that the foam is substantially free from halocarbon blowing agent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
31 words
Shaped article having a show surface of thermoplastic material with a reinforcement of a rigid polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam, characterised in that the foam is substantially free from halocarbon blowing agent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
An article according to claim 1, wherein said thermoplastic material is an acrylic polymer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
81 words
In a process for producing a shaped article comprising a thermoplastic show surface and a backing layer of a rigid polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam firmly bounded to the thermoplastic show surface, by applying a foamable polyurethane or polyisocyanurate composition in a closed mould to one face of a shaped thermoplastic sheet provided to one of the matching parts constituting said mould, the improvement which consists in using a foamable polyurethane or polyisocyanurate composition which is substantially free from halocarbon blowing agents.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
81 words
In a process for producing a shaped article comprising a thermoplastic show surface and a backing layer of a rigid polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam firmly bounded to the thermoplastic show surface, by applying a foamable polyurethane or polyisocyanurate composition in a closed mould to one face of a shaped thermoplastic sheet provided to one of the matching parts constituting said mould, the improvement which consists in using a foamable polyurethane or polyisocyanurate composition which is substantially free from halocarbon blowing agents.
