  • Patent number: 7588121
    Abstract: To provide a flexible polyurethane foam having improved sound absorbing properties in a low frequency region. A process for producing a flexible polyurethane foam which comprises foaming a starting material composition (E) comprising a high molecular weight polyoxyalkylene polyol (A), an organic polyisocyanate compound (B), a blowing agent (C) and a catalyst (D) in a closed mold, characterized in that at least a part of the high molecular weight polyoxyalkylene polyol (A) is a polyoxyalkylene polyol (p) having at least two hydroxyl groups on the average and having a molecular weight (Mc) per hydroxyl group of from 1,800 to 2,800 and a total unsaturation value (USV) of at most 0.08 meq/g, and that the air flowability of a flexible polyurethane foam obtained by foaming the starting material composition (E) in a thickness of 26 mm, is at most 0.085 m3/min.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7388037
    Abstract: A flexible polyurethane foam whereby exceedingly low resilience can be obtained without using a plasticizer and the hardness change due to a temperature change is little; and a process for its production, are provided. The flexible polyurethane foam is characterized by having a core resilience of 30% or lower and a glass transition point within a range of from ?80° C. to ?60° C. The process for producing a flexible polyurethane foam comprises reacting a polyol with a polyisocyanate compound in the presence of a catalyst, a foam stabilizer, and a blowing agent, and is characterized by using as the polyol a polyol(l) having a hydroxyl value of from 5 to 15 mgKOH/g.
