EXTRUSION OF POLYURETHANE COMPOSITE MATERIALS
First Claim
1. A method of forming a polymeric composite material in an extruder, the method comprising:
- introducing at least one polyol and inorganic filler to a first conveying section of the extruder;
transferring the at least one polyol and inorganic filler to a first mixing section of an extruder;
mixing the at least one polyol and the inorganic filler in the first mixing section;
transferring the mixed at least one polyol and inorganic filler to a second conveying section of the extruder;
introducing a di- or poly-isocyanate to the second conveying section;
transferring the mixed at least one polyol and inorganic filler and the di- or poly-isocyanate to a second mixing section;
mixing the mixed at least one polyol and inorganic filler with the di- or poly-isocyanate in the second mixing section of the extruder to provide a composite mixture; and
transferring the composite mixture to an output end of the extruder.

Abstract
Methods of extruding polyurethane composite materials are described. One method includes introducing at least one polyol and inorganic filler to a first conveying section of the extruder, transferring the at least one polyol and inorganic filler to a first mixing section of an extruder, mixing the at least one polyol and the inorganic filler in the first mixing section, transferring the mixed at least one polyol and inorganic filler to a second conveying section of the extruder, introducing a di- or poly-isocyanate to the second conveying section, transferring the mixed at least one polyol and inorganic filler and the di- or poly-isocyanate to a second mixing section, mixing the mixed at least one polyol and inorganic filler with the di- or poly-isocyanate in the second mixing section of the extruder to provide a composite mixture, and transferring the composite mixture to an output end of the extruder. Other related methods are also described.
