Abstract
Abstract Flexible, light-stable polyurethane foam. Aliphatic diisocyanates are reacted with polyether polyols and polyfunctional cross-linking agents in the presence of water, a metal catalyst and a strong base catalyst. The polyether polyols must have an equivalent weight of at least 2,000 while the cross-linking agent must have at least three primary hydroxyl groups and have an equivalent weight of less than 100. The strong base catalyst must be present at from about 3.8 x 10-4 to about 1.25 x 10-3 equivalents per 100 parts polyether polyol.
