Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A polyurethane-forming system having a viscosity at 25° C. of less than 600 mPas for at least 30 minutes, a gel time at ambient temperature of greater than 60 minutes and a water content of less than 0.06% by weight, based on total system weight, is used to produce composites by a vacuum infusion process. This system makes it possible to produce large composites such as wind turbine blades having excellent physical properties.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A process for producing a fiber-reinforced polyurethane composite article by vacuum infusion molding, comprising: (a) degassing components comprising an isocyanate component and an isocyanate-reactive component, wherein: (1) the isocyanate component has a viscosity at 25° C. of from about 20 to about 300 mPas and comprises a diisocyanate or a polyisocyanate, and (2) the isocyanate-reactive component comprises: (i) one or more polyols having a viscosity a…
