Abstract
Abstract An elastic polyurethane foam having a density, sag factor, tensile strength and elongation at break which adapt it for use in upholstery is prepared by reacting a poly(alkylene ether) polyol having at least about 10% by weight of primary hydroxyl groups and hydrazine or a hydrazine adduct with an organic polyisocyanate which contains at least about 50% by weight of distilled tolylene diisocyanate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
A process for making a highly elastic polyurethane foam which comprises reacting a poly(alkylene ether) polyol which contains at least two hydroxyl groups and has a molecular weight of at least about 1500, at least 10% by weight of the hydroxyl group being primary hydroxyl groups and, a hydrazine derivative and/or hydrazine adduct having the general formula: R--NH--NH--R'. (H.sub.2 O).sub.n, in which R and R'are identical or different and represent hydrogen or alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl or acyl groups and n = 0 or 1, with an organic polyisocyanate containing distilled tolylene diisocyanate in the presence of a blowing agent, the reaction being carried out in the absence of polyether-polysiloxane blocked copolymer foam stabilizers and the resultant foam having a density of from about 18 to about 50 kg/m 3 .
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
131 words
A process for making a highly elastic polyurethane foam which comprises reacting a poly(alkylene ether) polyol which contains at least two hydroxyl groups and has a molecular weight of at least about 1500, at least 10% by weight of the hydroxyl group being primary hydroxyl groups and, a hydrazine derivative and/or hydrazine adduct having the general formula: R--NH--NH--R'. (H.sub.2 O).sub.n, in which R and R'are identical or different and represent hydrogen or alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl or acyl groups and n = 0 or 1, with an organic polyisocyanate containing distilled tolylene diisocyanate in the presence of a blowing agent, the reaction being carried out in the absence of polyether-polysiloxane blocked copolymer foam stabilizers and the resultant foam having a density of from about 18 to about 50 kg/m 3 .
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the polyisocyanate is pure tolylene-2,4-diisocyanate or a mixture of tolylene 2,4-diisocyanate and tolylene-2,5-diisocyanate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the polyisocyanate consists essentially of mixtures of tolylene diisocyanate and aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or other aromatic isocyanates in which the quantity of the tolylene diiisocyanate is at least 50% by weight of the total quantity of isocyanates.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the hydrazine derivatives and/or hydrazine adducts are used in quantities, based on the hydrazine group of between about 0.1 to about 0.8 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of poly(alkylene ether) polyol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
151 words

(H.sub.2 O).sub.n wherein R and R' are the same or different and are C 1 -C 12 alkyl groups, C 5 -C 14 cycloalkyl groups, C 6 -C 14 aryl groups, C 7 -C 20 aralkyl groups or C 1 -C 12 acyl groups, n is zero or 1, with an organic polyisocyanate which contains at least 50% by weight of one or more of 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate and 2,6-tolylene diisocyanate isomers in a foamable reaction mixture containing a blowing agent.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
151 words
