Abstract
Abstract For the preparation of elastic flexible polyurethane foams with improved breaking elongation and very good setting behavior as well as densities from 7 to 120 grams per liter, organic polyisocyanates are reacted in the presence of blowing agents, catalysts and, optionally, auxiliaries and/or additives with polyols based on polyoxyalkylene polyols having terminal oxyethylene blocks of a degree of oxyethylation of 1 to 13 and which have a content of primary hydroxyl groups at the corresponding degree of oxyethylation equal or exceeding the value of curve A in the Figure in which curve A describing the relationship of the content of primary hydroxyl groups with the degree of oxyethylation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
In the process for the manufacture of elastic flexible polyurethane foams by reacting organic polyisocyanates with polyoxyalkylene polyols in the presence of catalysts, blowing agents, and, optionally, compounds serving as chain extenders or cross-linkers, fillers, plasticizers, flame retardant, cell openers, mold release agents, colorants, and the like, the improvement wherein the polyoxyalkylene polyol used has terminal oxyethylene blocks equivalent to an oxyethylene degree of 1 to 13 and at least a minimum primary hydroxyl group content expressed as a percentage of total hydroxyl groups, which increases with the degree of oxyethylation as shown in curve A of the FIGURE.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
99 words
In the process for the manufacture of elastic flexible polyurethane foams by reacting organic polyisocyanates with polyoxyalkylene polyols in the presence of catalysts, blowing agents, and, optionally, compounds serving as chain extenders or cross-linkers, fillers, plasticizers, flame retardant, cell openers, mold release agents, colorants, and the like, the improvement wherein the polyoxyalkylene polyol used has terminal oxyethylene blocks equivalent to an oxyethylene degree of 1 to 13 and at least a minimum primary hydroxyl group content expressed as a percentage of total hydroxyl groups, which increases with the degree of oxyethylation as shown in curve A of the FIGURE.
