    摘要: A process for making a molded flexible foam. The processes includes: (a) depositing a foam-forming reaction mixture onto a surface of a mold cavity, and (b) allowing the foam-forming reaction mixture to react in the mold cavity. The foam-forming reaction mixture includes: (1) a polyisocyanate present in an amount of less than 45% by weight, based on the total weight of the reaction mixture; (2) an isocyanate-reactive composition; (3) a blowing agent; and (4) a catalyst. The isocyanate-reactive composition includes: (i) at least 50% by weight, based on the total weight of polyol in the isocyanate-reactive composition, of a polyether polyol having a functionality of greater than 2, an oxyethylene content of 0 to 50% by weight, based on the total weight of the polyether polyol, more than 50 mol % of primary OH groups and an OH number of 8 to 112 mg KOH/g; and (ii) a component comprising: (A) an amine-initiated polyether polyol (II), wherein amine-initiated polyether polyol (II) has an OH number of at least 500 mg KOH/g and a functionality of 2.5 to 4, and wherein amine-initiated polyether polyol (II) is present in an amount of greater than 0 and no more than 10% by weight, based on the total weight of polyol in the isocyanate-reactive composition; (B) a CO2-producing carbamic acid which is present in an amount of greater than 0 and no more than 10% by weight, based on the total weight of polyol in the isocyanate-reactive composition; or (C) both (A) and (B).

    摘要: Polyurethane foam-forming compositions, methods of producing polyurethane foams, polyurethane foams produced from such compositions made by such methods, as well as isocyanate-reactive compositions. The polyurethane foam-forming compositions include a polyisocyanate; a polyol blend, and a physical blowing agent composition. The polyol blend includes an aromatic amine-initiated polyether polyol having an OH number of at least 200 mg KOH/g and a functionality of at least 3, wherein (i) the aromatic amine-initiated polyether polyol having an OH number of at least 200 mg KOH/g is present in amount of at least 20% by weight, based on the total weight of polyol, and (ii) the polyol blend has a content of —C2H4O— units of 2 to 7% by weight, based on total weight of the polyurethane foam-forming composition. The physical blowing agent composition includes cis-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene.
