DEVELOPMENT AND FIELD PRODUCTION OF FOAMED-IN-PLACE, PLASTIC, ENERGY-ABSORBING MATERIALS
Abstract
Materials, methods, and equipment were investigated which would be suitable for the production in the field of foamed-in-place, plastic, energy-dissipating structures. These would later be assembled with aerial-drop containers. The resin system was to foam, cure, and develop the necessary energy-dissipating characteristics within 12 hours, without an accessory source of heat and under field conditions at ambient temperatures of 42 to 125 F. The energy dissipating properties desired for the foams would be similar to those of foamed glass at comparable densities. Polyurethane systems were selected for the initial investigations.
