Graft polymer dispersions in polyoxyalkylene polyether polyols are employed together with flame retardant compounds to prepare flame retardant polyurethane foams. The polymer dispersions employ less than 0.1 mole of induced unsaturation per mole of polyol mixture. Processes for the preparation of these polymer dispersions employ fumarate derived polyetherester polyols or polyetherester polyols prepared by reacting a polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol with a compound selected from the group consisting of maleic acid, maleic anhydride and fumaric acid and an alkylene oxide in the presence of salts and oxides of divalent metals. The polymer dispersions are prepared in the presence of a reaction moderator and employ 50 weight percent or more of acrylonitrile.

Polyisocyanurate polymers are prepared by the polymerization of organic polyisocyanates in organic solvents employing trimerization catalysts. After deactivation of the catalysts and removal of the solvents, these polymers may be dispersed in polyols which are employed for the preparation of cellular and non-cellular polyurethane products displaying improved load bearing properties.

Polyisocyanurate polymers, dispersions, and cellular and non-cellular

Polyisocyanurate polymers are prepared by polymerization of polyisocyanates in organic solvents employing trimerization catalysts. The polyisocyanates are reacted with monofunctional active hydrogen compounds prior to polymerization or subsequent to the polymerization. These polymers may be dispersed in polyols for the preparation of cellular and non-cellular polyurethane products having improved physical properties.

Finely-divided polymeric solids are prepared by free-radical polymerization on ethylenically unsaturated monomer or monomers in an organic solvent employing an alkylene oxide adduct of a styrene-allyl alcohol copolymer stabilizer.

Process for the preparation of stabilized polymer dispersions in polyol

Finely-divided dispersed solids are prepared by the emulsion polymerization in the presence of a free radical catalyst of a major amount of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer or mixture of monomers and a minor amount of a hydroxy-terminated organic compound having from one to eight hydroxyl groups, an oxyethylene content of from about 15 to 80 weight percent, a hydroxyl equivalent weight of from 250 to 10,000 and containing a polymerizable carbon-to-carbon double bond. The resulting polymeric solids are particularly useful in the preparation of reinforced polymer compositions.

Low-viscous, stable polymer dispersions are prepared by blending a hydroxy-containing finely-divided solid polymer with a polyol having an equivalent weight between 500 and 10,000.

Graft copolymer dispersions of improved viscosity and superior particle size distribution are prepared by the in situ polymerization of vinyl monomers in unsaturation-containing polyols in the presence of a free-radical catalyst and certain chain transferring agents at temperatures below 100.degree.
