Guanylurea alcohol phosphate salts are disclosed. Flame retardant thermoplastic and thermoset polymers can be made by incorporating said guanylurea alcohol phosphate salts into polymers and these polymers have improved properties over similar thermoplastic or thermoset polymers where guanylurea phosphate salts are added as flame retardant dispersions to said polymer. Flame retardant polyurethane foams where the guanylurea alcohol phosphate salts have been incorporated into the polyurethane are a particularly preferred embodiment.

A filler for artificial grass, and a method of preparing the filler, including a curing reaction product of a polyurethane prepolymer having isocyanate groups at both ends thereof, an aromatic diamine, and hydrophilic fumed silica, where an amount of the hydrophilic fumed silica is in a range of about 1.5 weight % to about 5 weight %, and a specific surface area of the hydrophilic fumed silica is in a range of about 200 m.sup.2/g to about 300 m.sup.2/g. The filler is environment-friendly and has high surface energy, and when water exists in its surroundings, the filler is improved in terms of containing water due to its small contact angle with respect to water. Even when a temperature of the surroundings increases, artificial grass prepared by using the filler prevent a rapid temperature increase or an abrasion or burn that may occur as a person falls down on the grass during exercise.

The addition of a small amount of an alkyl sulfoxide, e.g., DMSO, to an isocyanate capped prepolymer provides a storage stable prepolymer composition in which the prepolymer is also highly activated towards curing with certain blocked curing agents such as methylenedianiline metal salt coordination complexes. The prepolymer/alkyl sulfoxide compositions are cured by said blocked curing agents at lower temperatures and/or at an accelerated rate compared to similar compositions lacking the alkyl sulfoxide providing high performance polyurethane elastomers.
