Patent Images
1. A method of making a polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam, comprising:
- A) injecting into a closed mold cavity, wherein said mold cavity is under an absolute pressure of from 300 to 950 mbar, a reaction mixture comprising;
a) an organic polyisocyanate;
b) a polyol mixture, wherein the polyol mixture comprises an aromatic polyester polyol, wherein the aromatic polyester polyol is at least 35 weight percent of the total amount of polyol;
c) a trimerisation catalyst;
d) at least one flame retardant;
e) optionally auxiliary substances; and
f) a blowing agent component,wherein said reaction mixture has an isocyanate index of greater than 250 and a gel time of at least 50 seconds; and
B) curing to form a polyisocyanurate foam.

Abstract
The present invention discloses the production of panels by a discontinuous process. The panels are produced by injecting a polyisocyanurate foam forming composition into the mold cavity at reduced pressure. The combination of certain polyisocyanurate foam forming formulation and the reduced pressure in the mold cavity allows production of and resulting sandwich panels in a discontinuous process where the produced panels are characterized by improved fire resistance.
