The present disclosure provides for a liquid transition metal chelating polyol blend that can be used in an isocyanate-reactive composition and a reaction mixture for forming a polyurethane polymer. The liquid transition metal chelating polyol blend includes a polyol, a transition metal compound having a transition metal ion and a chelating agent having a nitrogen based chelating moiety, where the liquid transition metal chelating polyol blend has a molar ratio of nitrogen in the nitrogen based chelating moiety to the transition metal ion of 8:1 to 1:1 (moles nitrogen:moles of transition metal ion).
