Abstract
The present invention relates to sheet-form fiber composite components which are obtainable by impregnating fibers with a reactive resin mixture comprising polyisocyanates, polyepoxides, polyols and optionally additives, and to a process for the production thereof.
Claims9
A sheet-form fibre composite component prepared by the vacuum-assisted resin transfer moulding process, for use in the production of rotor blades of wind turbines, comprising a fibre layer impregnated with polyurethane, wherein the polyurethane is obtainable from a reaction mixture comprising
- A) one or more polyisocyanates;
- B) one or more polyether polyols comprising an addition product of propylene oxide on a di-functional or poly-functional starter molecule, the polyether polyol(s) comprising at least 80% secondary OH groups;
- C) one or more polyepoxides;
- and
- D) optionally additives,
- wherein the reaction mixture has a viscosity at 35° C. of from 50 to 250 mPa and a ratio of the number of NCO groups to the number of OH groups of component B) of from 1.3:1 to 10:1 and a ratio of the number of NCO groups to the number of epoxide groups of component C) of from 1.1:1 to 10:1, and
- wherein the one or more polyisocyanates consists of mixtures of diphenylmethane diisocyanate and polyphenylenepolymethylene polyisocyanate with a monomer content of from 70 to 95 wt. % in the polyisocyanate component of A) based on the total weight of the polyisocyanate components.
