Abstract

The present invention relates to fiber-composite components that are produced by impregnating fibers with a reaction resin mixture of polyisocyanates, polyols, trimerization catalysts and optionally additives, and to a method for production thereof.

Claims (21)

1. A fiber composite component comprising a polyisocyanurate-containing fiber layer, wherein the polyisocyanurate is obtained from a reaction mixture comprising:

A) one or more polyisocyanates

B) one or more polyols, and

C) one or more latently reactive trimerization catalysts comprising a phenolate, ethylhexoate, oleate, acetate or formate of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene,

wherein the ratio of number of isocyanate groups to number of OH groups is from 1.6 to 6.0 wherein there are one or more gelcoat layers present on one side of the polyisocyanurate-containing fiber layer.

2. The fiber composite component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein on the side of the polyisocyanurate-containing fiber layer that is opposite to the gelcoat layer there is a spacer layer present, which is followed by another polyisocyanurate-containing fiber layer.

3. The fiber composite component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein there is, on one side of the polyisocyanurate-containing fiber layer, a spacer layer which is followed by another polyisocyanurate-containing fiber layer.

4. A rotor blade of a wind turbine comprising the fiber composite component of claim 1 .

5. A bodywork component of an automobile or aircraft comprising the fiber composite component of claim 1 .

6. A component of a building comprising the fiber composite component of claim 1 .

7. A manhole cover comprising the fiber composite component of claim 1 .

8. A process for the production of the fiber composite component comprising:

a) charging a fiber material in a mold half,

b) introducing a mixture into the fiber material to produce a saturated fiber material, wherein the mixture comprises:

A) one or more polyisocyanates

B) one or more polyols, and

C) one or more latently reactive trimerization catalysts comprising a phenolate, ethylhexoate, oleate, acetate or formate of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene,

wherein the ratio of number of isocyanate groups to number of OH groups is from 1.6 to 6.0, and

wherein the saturated fiber material hardens at a temperature of from 20 to 120° C. wherein the process further comprises the step of a′) introducing one or more gelcoat layers into the mold half before step a).

9. The process as claimed in claim 8 , wherein after the step a) or a′) and before the step b) a spacer-material layer and then a fiber-material layer are introduced into the mold half.

10. The process as claimed in claim 8 , wherein step b) is carried out by a vacuum infusion process.
