Abstract: The present invention is related to polyurethane foam materials, pores thereof being free of halogenated hydrocarbon compounds, in particular free of CFCs, and a process for producing the same wherein no halogenated hydrocarbon, in particular no CFC is used as foaming agent. The pores of the polyurethane foam material contain minor amounts of the vaporized foaming agent used in the process of the invention, i.e. of the organic liquid product selected from the group consisting of a lower alkane having 3 to 6 carbon atoms or a mixture of such lower alkanes, said liquid foaming agent having a boiling point between -10.degree. and =70.degree. C. at normal pressure.
