Abstract
Disclosed is a composition and process for making a water blown polyurethane foam having a good balance of flow and stability. Said foams are particularly suited for thin wall motor vehicle applications, such as instrument panels.
Claims2
A polyurethane foam comprising the reaction product of:
- a) an A-side comprising
- i) a polymeric MDI blend,
- b) a B-side comprising:
- i) 0 to less than 10 wt % of a polyether polyol having a functionality equal to 2,
- ii) 35 to 80 wt % of a polyether polyol having a functionality equal to 3,
- iii) 0 to 45 wt % of a polyether plymer polyol having a functionality greater than 3,
- iv) 5 to 15 wt % of a copolymer polyol,
- v) 01. to 0.4 wt % of a blowing catalyst,
- vi) 0.5 to 1 wt % of a gelling catalyst,
- vii) 1 to 4 wt % of a cell opener,
- and
- viii) 1 to 4 wt % of water,
- wherein the B-side weight percents are based on the total weight of the B-side.

A process to form a polyurethane foam, comprising the reaction product of:
- a) an A-side comprising
- i) a polymeric MDI blend,
- b) a B-side comprising:
- i) 0 to less than 10 wt % of a polyether polyol having a functionality equal to 2,
- ii) 35 to 80 wt % of a polyether polyol having a functionality equal to 3,
- iii) 20 to 45 wt % of a polyether polyol having a functionality greater than 3,
- iv) 5 to 15 wt % of a copolymer polyol,
- v) 01. to 0.4 wt % of a blowing catalyst,
- vi) 0.5 to 1 wt % of a gelling catalyst,
- vii) 1 to 4 wt % of a cell opener,
- and
- viii) 1 to 4 wt % of water,
- wherein the B-side weight percents are based on the total weight of the B-side,
- said process comprising the steps of:
- A) forming a reactive blend by mixing said A-side and said B-side at or below 105° F. and in a ratio, (A-side):(B-side), of 1:1 to 5:1 by volume;
- and
- B) subjecting the resulting reactive blend to conditions sufficient to cure the reactive blend to form a polyurethane foam.
