  • Patent number: 11332591
    Abstract: Process for producing PU foams by reacting at least one polyol component with at least one isocyanate component in the presence of one or more catalysts that catalyse the isocyanate-polyol and/or isocyanate-water reactions and/or isocyanate trimerization, and optionally one or more chemical or physical blowing agents, with use of SiOC-bonded polyether siloxanes having branching in the siloxane moiety, prepared from branched siloxanes bearing acetoxy groups, wherein a sufficient amount of the SiOC-bonded polyether siloxane having branching in the siloxane moiety is added that the proportion by mass of this polyether siloxane (e) based on the finished PU foam is from 0.0001% to 10% by weight.

  • Publication number: 20220106432
    Abstract: Shaped flexible PU foam articles, preferably mattresses and/or cushions, may use a flexible polyurethane foam obtained by reaction of at least one polyol component and at least one isocyanate component in the presence of at least one blowing agent and one or more catalysts that catalyze the isocyanate-polyol and/or isocyanate-water reactions and/or isocyanate trimerization and further additives, wherein the additives include one or more organic esters.

  • Publication number: 20220017680
    Abstract: Process for producing cold-cure flexible slabstock PU foams by reaction of at least one polyol component and at least one isocyanate component in the presence of water and at least one catalyst and at least one crosslinker, wherein no nitrogen-containing crosslinkers having an expanded OH number above 1000 mg KOH/g are employed in a total amount >0.5 parts by weight, preferably >0.1 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of polyol.

  • Publication number: 20210137276
    Abstract: What are described are shaped hot-cure flexible PU foam articles, preferably mattresses and/or cushions, wherein the hot-cure flexible polyurethane foam has been obtained by reaction of at least one polyol component and at least one isocyanate component in the presence of at least one compound of formula (1a) and at least one compound of formula (1b) and at least one blowing agent and at least one catalyst.
