Abstract

An apparatus for the continuous production of a curable polyurethane froth which apparatus comprises separate sources of a polyol, an isocyanate, a catalyst and an inert gas, means including separate conduits for feeding said polyol, isocyanate and inert gas separately and under pressure at controlled flow rates from said sources to a mixing device containing inlet openings to receive said polyol, isocyanate and inert gas, means for mixing said polyol, isocyanate and inert gas to produce a froth, and an outlet opening for the resulting froth, means for delivering the froth from said mixing device to a second mixing device, a conduit for feeding the catalyst under pressure at a controlled flow rate to the second mixing device, and means for mixing the froth and catalyst, said mixing device containing inlet openings to receive the froth and catalyst and an outlet opening for the resulting catalyzed froth and means for delivering the catalyzed froth from the mixing device onto a substrate.
