A method for the manufacture of paper faced foam which comprises (a) applying a foam-forming mixture to at least one advancing cellulosic sheet or composite thereof with an air- and/or moisture-impermeable material, the cellulosic sheet (i) being impregnated with cured polyisocyanate, (ii) being sufficiently flexible for unwinding from a roll for conveyance along a production line and (iii) having a moisture content which does not exceed about 10 percent and is evenly distributed throughout the cellulosic sheet, and (b) foaming and curing the faced foam-forming mixture.

Method for continuous manufacture of foam boards with

Thermoformable polyisocyanurate foams are prepared by reacting together under foam-forming conditions an organic polyisocyanate and an isocyanate-reactive compound, especially an aromatic polyester polyol, the equivalent ratio of isocyanate groups to isocyanate reactive groups being at least about 1.2:1. The foams and faced composites thereof can be thermoformed for a wide range of uses, such as in the interior of motor vehicles, aircraft, ships and other transport means, and of both residential and commercial buildings.
