The present invention provides a process for producing an antibacterial flexible polyurethane foam containing an antibacterial agent dispersed therein from a foaming mixture composed of polyols, organic isocyanates, catalysts, and blowing agents. The process is characterized in that the antibacterial agent is added to the foaming mixture and the catalyst is an organic amine which is used alone or in combination with a tin compound. In the latter case, the tin compound is a tetravalent tin compound or a divalent tin compound which is used in an amount less than 1 part by weight for 1 part by weight of the antibacterial agent. The antibacterial flexible polyurethane foam retains the antibacterial action for a long time and is safe because it contains an inorganic antibacterial agent dispersed therein which does not yield resistant bacteria.

Process for producing antibacterial flexible polyurethane foam

A process for producing a polyurethane foam from a foam raw material containing polyols, organic isocyanates, catalysts and blowing agents, which comprises using as the polyols a high-molecular weight polyol having a hydroxyl number lower than 100 and a low-molecular weight polyol having a hydroxyl number higher than 200 which are mixed at a ratio of 4:6 to 6:4 (by weight), and also using as the catalysts a tertiary amine alone. Polyurethane forms having good buckling performance can be obtained by the process and they are expected to be useful as a packaging material, shock-absorbing material, heat-insulating material, and so on.

Process for producing polyurethane foam

Flame-retardant polyurethane foam having a very good skin weldability and a very low level of skin staining is produced from a polyhydroxy compound, organic polyisocyanate, blowing agent, catalyst, foam stabilizer, and flame retardant, and other additives, wherein the flame retardant contains a triaryl phosphate ester and the polyhydroxy compound is a mixture composed of 100 parts by weight of high-molecular-weight polyhydroxy compound having a hydroxyl number lower than 100 and 0.5 to 10 parts by weight of low-molecular-weight polyhydroxy compound having a hydroxyl number higher than 560 and having 2 to 4 hydroxyl groups in one molecule.

The laminate comprises a urethane modified polyisocyanurate foam as a core material and a particular front surface material piled on the core material through self-adhesion of the foam.

Fireproof laminates

A laminate having excellent flameproofing and low-smoke development is disclosed. The laminate comprises an urethane modified polyisocyanurate foam as a core material and an aluminum foil or sheet as a surface material piled on at least one surface of the foam through a self-adhesion of the foam and passes Grade 2 incombustibility according to Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) A-1321 combustion test.

A method of producing flameproof polyisocyanurate foams is disclosed. When the foam is produced by reacting an organic polyisocyanate with polyols as a modifying agent in the presence of an isocyanate trimerization catalyst, a blowing agent and other additives, a combination of particular low molecular weight diols with particular high molecular weight polyether polyols is used as the polyol in a special weight ratio and a special total amount per 100 parts by weight of the organic polyisocyanate in the presence of special combination of an alkali metal salt of a carboxylic acid and a tertiary amine compound as the catalyst.

Method of producing flameproof polyisocyanurate foams

A process for producing a rigid polyurethane foam having excellent flame retardance and low-smoke development is disclosed. When the rigid polyurethane foam is produced by reacting a polyhydroxyl compound with an organic polyisocyanate in the presence of a blowing agent, a surfactant, a catalyst and other additives, 3-methylpentane-1,3,5-triol is used as a part of the polyhydroxyl compound.

Process for producing a rigid polyurethane foam having excellent flame

Polyisocyanurate foams having excellent heat resistance and flame resistance are produced by using no common organic silicone surfactant or using less than 0.2% by weight based on an organic polyisocyanate, of said organic silicone surfactant, when producing a polyisocyanurate foam by reacting an organic polyisocyanate, a blowing agent and a catalyst for trimerizing isocyanate and if necessary a surfactant, a modifier and the other additives.
