Flexible polyurethane foams are made by reacting a polyether mixture and water with a polyisocyanate. The foams have excellent suite of properties for use in seating applications, as they are supporting, comfortable and resilient foam. A further advantage is these properties can be obtained at isocyanate indices of close to or even greater than 100.

This composition for a soft polyurethane foam contains a polyol component, an isocyanate component, a foaming agent, a cell opening agent, and a catalyst. The catalyst is a C11 or higher amine and the cell opening agent is a polyol in which the content of ethylene oxide is more than 50 mol %.

A waterborne sound and vibration damping composition including a waterborne emulsion polymer, the polymer having a calculated acid number of from 2 to 100; from 0.1% to 50%, solids based on emulsion polymer solids, of certain liquid compounds having a boiling point greater than 150 C.; and a solid filler at a level of from 25% to 85% PVC; wherein the waterborne damping composition has a water content of from 6% to 25% by weight is provided. A method for providing a coated substrate using the waterborne damping composition and a substrate so coated are also provided.

The embodiments described herein generally relate to methods and chemical compositions of triazine-arylhydroxy-aldehyde condensates. In one embodiment, a triazine-arylhydroxy-aldehyde condensate is reacted with at alkoxylation agent to form alkoxylated triazine-arylhydroxy-aldehyde condensates.

The shelf life of B-side compositions comprising a polyol, a surfactant, a blowing agent, an organometallic or metal salt catalyst wherein the metal of the catalyst comprises Zn or Bi, and from 1 to 10 weight percent water is improved by the addition of a thiol compound.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a composition for polyurethane foam production which gives polyurethane foam having a low density and excellent sound-absorbing properties; polyurethane foam obtained from the composition; and a sound-absorbing member. The composition for polyurethane foam production of the present invention is characterized by comprising a polyol, a polyisocyanate, a catalyst, a blowing agent, a foam stabilizer, and an auxiliary blowing agent, the blowing agent being water, the amount of which is 4-11 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the polyol, and the auxiliary blowing agent being a liquid halogenated olefin, the amount of which is 10-30 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the polyol.

A foaming thermoplastic polyurethane resin is a reaction product of a polyisocyanate component containing a bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane and a polyol component. In a peak of chromatogram obtained by measurement of the foaming thermoplastic polyurethane resin with gel permeation chromatography, the area of a high molecular weight component having a weight average molecular weight of 400,000 or more with respect to the total area of the peak is 25% or more and 60% or less.

The present invention provides dialkyl phosphorus-containing compounds, namely reactive mono-hydroxyl-functional dialkyl phosphinates in a blend with a phosphate compound, said blend serving as highly efficient reactive flame retardant blend in flexible polyurethane foam. The invention further provides fire-retarded polyurethane compositions comprising said the reaction product of the flame retardant blend with polyol and isocyanate foam forming components.

A cooling support cushion and method of forming same is provided. In particular, the present cooling support cushions and methods of producing the same make use of a plurality of surface coatings to a base layer to provide an extended cooling effect. The surface coating may be mixed and applied or may be applied as separated layers.

A guanidine of the formula (I) and to the use thereof as catalyst for the crosslinking of a functional compound, especially a polymer having silane groups. The guanidine of the formula (I) described is preparable in a simple method via a polyfunctional carbodiimide adduct from the readily available raw materials, and is largely odorless at room temperature and of low toxicity. In spite of its comparatively high molecular weight, it accelerates the crosslinking of functional compounds surprisingly well, and such compositions do not have a tendency to migration-related defects such as separation, exudation or substrate soiling.
