Abstract
Hexahydro-s-triazines, and in particular hexamethylenetetramine (HMT), can be used in high water (5.0 or more parts per hundred parts of polyol) flexible polyurethane foams formulations in place of conventional gellation catalysts to produce open celled molded foams with excellent surfaces and with cores free of discoloration.
Claims10
A process for preparing flexible polyurethane foams which comprises reacting:
- (a) a polyether polyol and
- (b) an organic polyisocyanate, in the presence of a hexahydro-s-triazine catalyst, a foam stabilizer and a blowing agent wherein the hexahydro-s-triazine catalyst is hexamethylenetetramine or mixtures of hexamethylenetetramine with 1,3,5-tris(N,N dialkylaminoalkyl)-s-hexhydrotriazines.
