Compositions and a method for preparing a molded foamed polymeric article comprising (1) a relatively high molecular weight polyahl and a relatively low molecular weight polyol, in proportions such that the relatively high molecular weight polyahl and the relatively low molecular weight polyol are incompatible, (2) a polyisocyanate, (3) a blowing agent, and (4) an internal mold release/compatibilizing agent containing (a) a metal salt of a weak acid, wherein the metal is selected from elements of the Periodic Table of the Elements having Atomic Numbers 3-5, 11-14, 19-34, 37-52, 55-57, and 72-84, and (b) a compound containing at least one amine group, wherein the internal mold release/compatibilizing agent is present in an amount sufficient to provide mold release characteristics to the article and to compatibilize the relatively high molecular weight polyahl and the relatively low molecular weight polyol, are disclosed. In a preferred embodiment the blowing agent is water. The compatibilized compositions exhibit mold release characteristics and also improved adhesion to vinyl-based polymers.
