Abstract: A flame-resistant and sound- and vibration-insulating member for a vehicle, which is a soft polyurethane foam formed by a reaction between an organic polyisocyanate component and a polyol component, wherein the organic polyisocyanate component includes as a major component a monomeric MDI and further includes a reaction product containing carbodiimide and/or uretone imine groups, the monomeric MDI containing 29-33% of NCO and including 1-45% by weight of 2,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, while the polyol component includes at least 50% by weight of polyol having 2-8 functional groups and a molecular weight of 1000-10000, and wherein the soft polyurethane foam has a density of 40-150 kg/m3, a 50% compressive load of (5-60)×10−2N/mm2, a tensile strength of at least 120 kPa and an elongation of at least 50%, and exhibits flame resistance according to FMVSS-302. A process of manufacturing the flame-resistant and sound- and vibration-insulating member is also disclosed.
