Abstract: This invention relates to novel polyisocyanate compositions, to a process for these polyisocyanate compositions, to a process for the production of cold cure flexible molded foams wherein this novel polyisocyanate composition comprises the polyisocyanate component, and to the cold cure flexible molded foams produced by this process.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved method for the production of a pour-in-place composite article. These composite articles comprise an exterior covering and a flexible polyurethane foam core. This method comprises inserting a support armature into a pre-sewn exterior covering, positioning an exterior covering in a shaped mold, and applying pressurized gas to the outside surface of the exterior covering at the point directly opposite the position that the reaction mixture will be injected into the mold. The pressurized gas is either applied to the outside surface of the exterior covering either at some point prior to injection of the reaction mixture into the shaped mold, or the pressurized gas is applied simultaneously with the injection of the reaction mixture into the shaped mold. The application of pressurized gas is discontinued once the injection step is completed, allowing the reaction mixture to fully react and expand to conform the composite article to the shape of the mold.

Abstract: This invention relates to flexible foams and flexible molded foams prepared from an isocyanate component comprising an allophanate-modified diphenylmethane diisocyanate. The present invention also relates to processes for the production of these flexible foams and flexible molded foams.

Abstract: A novel isocyanate reactive mixture is described which allows for the preparation of energy absorbing foams which meet Chrysler specification DC-640. The reactive mixture contains a) a filled polyol, b) a propylene oxide adduct of a mono-, di-, or trialkanolamine and c) a polyoxyalkylene polyamine. Foams prepared from the reactive mixture are also described.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an isocyanate reactive mixture of specified amounts of a) a polyether polyol having a hydroxyl functionality of from 4 to 8 and having a hydroxyl number of from about 300 to about 450, b) a polyether polyol having a hydroxyl functionality of from 4 to 8 and having a hydroxyl number of from about 50 to about 200, and wherein at least 75% of the hydroxyl groups are primary hydroxyl groups, c) an adduct of a mono-, di-, or trialkanolamine and propylene oxide, said adduct having a hydroxyl number of from about 100 to about 800, and d) a polyoxyalkylene polyamine having a molecular weight of from about 2000 to about 5000, and containing from 2 to 3 primary amino groups. The invention is also directed to water-blown, energy absorbing foams made from the isocyanate reactive mixture.
