Reaction products of an organic polyisocyanate with a reactive diamine such as bis(4-aminocyclohexyl)methane and isophorone diamine, prepared at a temperature of between 135.degree. C. and 200.degree. C., are used to prepare polyurethanes useful for comfort cushioning applications such as automotive seating, furniture, mattresses, and large automotive body panels.

Polyurethanes produced from an adduct of an organic polyisocyanate and

The method for improving cell structure with little or no shrinkage or foam collapse in molded high resilience open celled flexible polyurethane foams prepared by the reaction of an organic polyol having a hydroxyl functionality of at least 2 with an organic polyisocyanate in the presence of a blowing agent. This method comprises incorporating with the reactants three cell modifiers consisting of a polysiloxane-polyoxyalkylene copolymer, a polymethylsiloxane, and a polyether polyol cell modifier containing polyoxyethylene groups in amount of at least about 80 percent by weight of said polyether polyol.

Low-cost surfactant compositions for high resiliency flexible foams

HR or high resiliency polyurethane foams having improved processing stability are prepared from reactive urethane formation promoting active hydrogen-containing compositions which have been pre-treated with carbon dioxide or a weak acid. The pre-treated active hydrogen-containing composition is, then, reacted with an organic polyisocyante to form the foams hereof.

HR foams made with reactive polyol compositions having improved stability

A flexible, highly resilient, cold-cure, closed-mold polyurethane foam can be produced by reacting a foamable mixture comprising an organic polyisocyanate, water and a polyol. The foams of the invention are preferably prepared from a mixture of a hydroxyl-terminated graft copolymer and a hydroxyl-terminated polyoxyalkylene polyether in the presence of a co-catalyst mixture of at least one tertiary amine catalyst and at least one metal-containing basic catalyst. Said catalyst is selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal hydroxide, an alkaline earth metal hydroxide, an inorganic basic salt thereof derived from the reaction of said hydroxides with a weak inorganic acid, a metal organic basic salt catalyst derived from the reaction of at least one of said hydroxides with an organic acid and mixtures thereof. Useful metal organic catalysts are selected from the group consisting of the alkali and alkaline earth metal carboxylates, alkoxides and phenates. Useful inorganic basic metal salt catalysts are sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate.

High resilience flexible foamed polyurethanes, foamable mixtures and

Flexible cellular foam compositions are prepared by reacting in the presence of water an organic compound having at least two active hydrogen atoms with an organic polyisocyanate employing an isocyanate index of from about 130 to about 225 in the presence of a catalytically sufficient amount of certain isocyanate trimerization catalysts. The resulting foam compositions exhibit excellent flame retardant properties.

Flexible cellular polyurethane foam compositions having increased flame

Composites based on polyurethane foams heat sealed to a substrate are prepared from polyurethane foams employing a graft polyol as a component of the foam-forming reaction mixture. The resulting composites possess exceptional bonding strength.
