Abstract
Abstract Foamed plastics with improved combustion characteristics are produced by condensing an aqueous solution of formaldehyde-urea and/or melamine precondensates with polyisocyanates and optionally a polyol in the presence of an acid catalyst, being present in an amount of 1 part by weight per at least 20 parts by weight of precondensate, whereby this catalyst is added to the isocyanate before mixing with the precondensate or to the mixture of isocyanate and precondensate, but separately from the precondensate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
In a process for production foamed plastics with improved combustion characteristics by a condensation reaction of aminoplast resins with isocyanates which are at least bifunctional, the improvement comprising using as starting material an aqueous solution of a precondensate of formaldehyde with an aminoplast forming compound selected from the group consisting of urea and melamine, which solution contains from 0.5 to 20 parts by weight of the precondensate per part by weight of water, adding to the isocyanate or its mixture with the aqueous solution of the precondensate but separately from the solution of the precondensate an acid catalyst in an amount of 1 part by weight per at least 20 parts by weight of the precondensate and condensing the precondensate with the isocyanate at temperatures of between 20° to 100° C., whereby the weight ratio of precondensate to isocyanate used is from 0.20 to 15:1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words

Claim 9
Dependent Claim
15 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the acid catalyst used is ammonium chloride.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
