The invention relates to a viscoelastic damping foam with an adhesive surface for adhesion coupling to vibrating surfaces, for solid-borne sound absorption. The viscoelastic damping foam is obtained through the stoichiometric reaction of a polyisocyanate with at least two polyols of the polyether type which are incompatible with one another.

Viscoelastic damping foam having an adhesive surface

A sound insulating structure is provided which is made by foam-backing a carpet in a single operation and which includes a consolidated layer with few or no cells followed by a cellular soft elastic layer. To this end structured materials such as fleece and/or cut foam into which foaming takes place in order to form the consolidated layer, are provided on the back of the carpet or of a foam-proof covering thereon.

Process for manufacturing a sound insulating structure

The invention relates to a process for recycling thermosetting polyurethane soft foams in which they are comminuted in a mill, irrespective of their initial shape, density and structure, and are then pressed under the influence of pressure and elevated temperatures to high-strength sheets of various structures.

Recycling of thermosetting polyurethane soft foam

The present invention relates to polyurethane foam materials with sound insulating and vibration damping properties. They are obtainable by reacting a polyisocyanate or polyisocyanate prepolymers with an excess of polyols or a mixture thereof while maintaining an NCO index of .ltoreq.80, in particular .ltoreq.70 and as a result they have an adhesive (frictional) surface and are further characterized by a density of 80 to 250 kg/m.sup.3, a modulus of elasticity less than 300 OOO N/m.sup.2 and a loss factor of at least 0.4. The production is preferably done by adding the reaction components (polyol system on the one hand and polyisocyanate system on the other) to the mixture head of an RIM machine. The polyurethane soft foam materials with an adhesive surface according to the invention are particularly suitable for use as vibration damping sound insulation systems in automobiles.
