Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
79 words
Polyurethane foam made from the reaction products of at least one polyoxyalkylene ether polyol having a hydroxyl functionality of at least two with at least one organic polyisocyanate in the presence of a blowing agent with about 0.2 to about 40 percent by weight based on the polyol of a chain extender comprising from about 1 percent to about 80 percent by weight of phenyldiethanolamine and from about 20 percent to about 99 percent by weight of 1,4-butane diol.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
79 words
Polyurethane foam made from the reaction products of at least one polyoxyalkylene ether polyol having a hydroxyl functionality of at least two with at least one organic polyisocyanate in the presence of a blowing agent with about 0.2 to about 40 percent by weight based on the polyol of a chain extender comprising from about 1 percent to about 80 percent by weight of phenyldiethanolamine and from about 20 percent to about 99 percent by weight of 1,4-butane diol.
