Abstract:

A system and method for making molded foam parts having a reinforcing sheet integrally molded onto a surface of the finished part. One or more magnetic elements, e.g. magnets, are positioned on an inner surface of a mold. Magnetic particles, e.g. iron, are bonded to or embedded in a surface of a reinforcing sheet. The magnetic particles may be mixed with a binder and sprayed, screen printed or otherwise applied to a surface of the sheet. The sheet is positioned in the mold adjacent the magnetic elements and held in place by magnetic attraction. Foam forming chemicals may then be reacted in the mold to form a foam part with the sheet bonded to the foam part in a desired location.

Abstract:

A composite insulation material comprises a layer of refractory fabric having a layer of a metallic material bonded thereto. The refractory fabric may be comprised of pyrolyzed polymer or an inorganic material such as a mineral fiber, glass, ceramics and the like. Also disclosed is a thermally and acoustically insulated vessel fabricated from a body of polymeric material which defines at least a portion of the vessel, and which has a body of refractory fabric partially embedded in and retained by the polymeric material so that the refractory fabric is exposed upon a surface of the body of polymeric material. Disclosed are air ducts, fuel tanks and conduits of this type.
