Abstract
An impact energy-absorbing, relatively low density, urethane foam for use in automobile bumpers has a high content of urea linkages and is relatively temperature insensitive, i.e. gives approximately the same physical performance over a wide range of temperature. The foam is water blown in a closed mold from a quasi-prepolymer system. The pack factor is preferably in the range of 1.5 to 8 and the molded density is in the range of 5 to 20 lbs./ft..sup.3. The foam formulation is based on a polyol of a poly (oxypropylene/ethylene) triol reacted with a styrene/acrylonitrile monomer mixture which triol thus modified is reacted with (1) a 50 to 150 equivalent weight polyol cross linker of 2 to 6 functionality, (2) a MDI or TDI/glycol or triol quasi-prepolymer and (3) some water.
