Abstract
Abstract In the preparation of conventional or high resiliency flexible polyurethane flame retarded foams by reacting organic polyisocyanates with polyols containing vinylic polymers and employing flame retardant compounds, less flame retardant compound is required to pass the California Bulletin No. 117 flame test when the particle size of the vinylic polymers is greater than 0.5 microns.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
72 words
In the preparation of a flame-retardant, flexible polyurethane foam prepared from the reaction of a polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol having an average equivalent weight of from 200 to 2500 and graft polymer content of at least 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of said polyol, an organic polyisocyanate, a blowing agent and flame-retardant compounds, the improvement comprises incorporating therein a graft polymer having a particle size greater than 0.5 micron.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
72 words
In the preparation of a flame-retardant, flexible polyurethane foam prepared from the reaction of a polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol having an average equivalent weight of from 200 to 2500 and graft polymer content of at least 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of said polyol, an organic polyisocyanate, a blowing agent and flame-retardant compounds, the improvement comprises incorporating therein a graft polymer having a particle size greater than 0.5 micron.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
In the preparation of the flame-retardant flexible polyurethane foam of claim 1, the flame-retardant compound is selected from the group consisting of bis-(2-chloroethyl)-2-chloroethylphosphonate, tris-2,3-dibromopropyl)phosphate, tetrakis-(2-chloroethyl)ethylene diphosphate and compounds having the formulas ##STR4## wherein x is equal to 0 or 1; ##STR5## wherein n is 1 to 4.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
In the preparation of the flame-retardant flexible polyurethane foam of claim 1, the amount of flame retardant compound ranges from 0.25 part to 25 parts per 100 parts of the polyol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
74 words
In a flame-retardant, flexible, high-resiliency polyurethane foam prepared by the reaction of a polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol having an average equivalent weight of from 200 to 2500, and a graft polymer dispersion content of at least 3 parts by weight per 100 parts of polyol, flame retardant compounds, and an organic polyisocyanate in the presence of a blowing agent, the improvement comprises incorporating therein a graft polymer having a particle size greater than 0.5 micron.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
74 words
In a flame-retardant, flexible, high-resiliency polyurethane foam prepared by the reaction of a polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol having an average equivalent weight of from 200 to 2500, and a graft polymer dispersion content of at least 3 parts by weight per 100 parts of polyol, flame retardant compounds, and an organic polyisocyanate in the presence of a blowing agent, the improvement comprises incorporating therein a graft polymer having a particle size greater than 0.5 micron.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
