A process for preparing a flame-resistant, elastic soft polyurethane foam includes admixing a portion of expanded graphite having a particle size of from 0.2 to 1 mm as a flame retardant and a portion of melamine, with a foam reaction mixture of polyol and polyisocyanate.

Process for preparing a flame-resistant, elastic soft polyurethane foam

A process for producing a flame-resistant elastic soft polyurethane foam from a foam reaction component mixture of a polyol, a polyisocyanate, and a proportion of expanded graphite in the form of flakes as a flame retardant, includes initially admixing the flakes having a size on the order of magnitude of resultant foam cell walls with the polyol component. The flakes are incorporated to form at least part of the cell walls upon expansion of the foam.
