  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20080085945
    Abstract: It is to provide a flexible polyurethane foam having favorable vibration characteristics and further having excellent sound absorption characteristics, a process for its production and a seat for an automobile. A process for producing a flexible polyurethane foam, which comprises reacting a polyol compound with a polyisocyanate compound in the presence of a foam stabilizers a blowing agent and a urethane-forming catalyst, wherein as the polyol compound, a polyol compound containing a polyoxyalkylene polyol (A) having an oxyalkylene group obtained by ring opening addition polymerization of an alkylene oxide by using a composite metal cyanide complex catalyst and having an unsaturation value less than 0.04 meq/g, a polyoxyalkylene polyol (B) obtained by random ring opening addition polymerization of ethylene oxide and an alkylene oxide having at least 3 carbon atoms to an initiator, and a polymer-dispersed polyol (C), is used.
