Abstract

Abstract A low-flame spread rating polyurethane foam includes as one of its polyol ingredients saturated polyester composition of low acid value having 20 to 30 percent bromine by weight and an -OH value of 350-550 formed from A. TETRABROMOPHTHALIC ANHYDRIDE OR ACID; B. AN ALIPHATIC DICARBOXYLIC ACID; C. A POLYOL; D. AN ALIPHATIC DIOL. The polyester preferably has a viscosity less than 500,000 centipoises at 25* C. In such low-flame spread forms, the polyester is combined with prepolymers of a polyether polyol and a polyisocyanate, preferably polymethylene polypehnylene polyisocyanate.
