Abstract
Disclosed is a water blown, open cell, hydrophilic polyurethane foam, a process for preparing such a foam and articles made therefrom. Utilizing a one step process the foam is formed from a reaction mixture comprising an organic polyisocyanate, water, a reaction catalyst and a mixture of certain polyols. The first polyol utilized in the invention is a poly(oxyalkylene) triol, chain terminated with propylene oxide and having a molecular weight in the range of about 2800 to about 6200. The second polyol is a poly(oxyalkylene) polyol, chain terminated with ethylene oxide or propylene oxide and having a molecular weight in the range of about 60 to about 800. The third polyol comprises at least one selected from the group of (i) poly(oxyalkylene) diols chain terminated with ethylene oxide and having a molecular weight in the range of about 500 to about 4000 and (ii) polyfunctional polyols chain terminated with propylene oxide and having a molecular weight in the range of about 250 to about 1000.
