Abstract
The subject application relates to polyurethane foam and methods of forming the same. A polyurethane foam may include a first polyol component and a second polyol component. The first polyol component may include a polyether polyol having a functionality of at least about 5. The second polyol component may include at least one component selected from the group of a polyether polyol having a functionality of not greater than about 4, and a polyester polyol having a functionality of not greater than about 4.

A polyurethane foam comprising:
- a first polyol component comprising a polyether polyol having a functionality of at least about 5;
- and
- a second polyol component comprising at least one component selected from the group of a polyether polyol having a functionality of not greater than about 4, and a polyester polyol having a functionality of not greater than about 4,
- wherein the polyurethane foam comprises a density of not greater than about 200 kg/m3,
- wherein the polyurethane foam comprises a compression curve ratio CFD70/CFD10 of not greater than about 10, where CFD70 is equal to the compression force deflection (CFD) of the polyurethane foam measured at a 70% compression ratio and CFD10 is equal to the compression force deflection (CFD) of the polyurethane foam measured at a 10% compression ratio.
A polyurethane foam comprising:
- a first polyol component comprising a polyether polyol having a functionality of at least about 5;
- and
- a second polyol component comprising at least one component selected from the group of a polyether polyol having a functionality of not greater than about 4, and a polyester polyol having a functionality of not greater than about 4,
- wherein the polyurethane foam comprises a density of not greater than about 200 kg/m3,
- wherein the polyurethane foam comprises a HBF rating based on a UL94 flame retardancy test performed at a polyurethane foam thickness of 1.0 mm.
A method of forming a polyurethane foam comprising:
- providing a raw material mixture comprising:
- a raw first polyol component comprising a polyether polyol having a functionality of at least about 5;
- and
- a raw second polyol component comprising at least one component selected from the group of a polyether polyol having a functionality of not greater than about 4, and a polyester polyol having a functionality of not greater than about 4, and
- forming the raw material mixture into a polyurethane foam,
- wherein the polyurethane foam comprises a density of not greater than about 200 kg/m3,
- wherein the polyurethane foam comprises a compression curve ratio CFD70/CFD10 of not greater than about 10, where CFD70 is equal to the compression force deflection (CFD) of the polyurethane foam measured at a 70% compression ratio and CFD10 is equal to the compression force deflection (CFD) of the polyurethane foam measured at a 10% compression ratio.
