Abstract

Abstract This invention comprises the production of low density flexible polyurethane foams having improved load carrying capacity by adding to the unfoamed mixture, comprising a polyhydroxy compound, an organic polyisocyanate and water, a polymer in the form of an unfoamed latex of about 30 to 65 percent solids content, the latex polymer having a glass transition temperature of at least 50* C. and having a particle size in the range of from about 200 to 800 angstroms, any other latex polymer particles outside said range being present in minor amounts.
