MULTIPURPOSE POLYMER FOAM COMPOSITION Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: polymer materials. SUBSTANCE: invention provides polymer composition for fabrication of environmentally safe fire-resistant polymer sorbent with a wide range of technical possibilities, in particular on open reservoirs, grounds, slopes, under great wind forces (up to 20-25 m/s), on surfaces of buildings and constructions, for manufacturing booms, mats, and the like, to extinguish fires as insulation means with elevated fire resistance (>300 C), and also for use as decorative material. Such composition contains urea-formaldehyde resin, fire retardant (aluminum hydroxide), inert filler, foaming agent (based on Petrov contact), hardener (mineral acid), and additionally dye and water. EFFECT: increased strength, fire resistance, and ornamental properties. 2 cl, 2 tbl, 3 ex
