Abstract

Abstract A U.F. foam that is diamensionally stable, but low in formaldehyde, was made by adding to a conventional solution of a urea formaldehyde resin precondensate, before foaming, up to 50% urea, relative to the solid resin substance, and one or several connecting agents from the group of sulfurous alkyl compounds, saturated monobasic carbonic acids, saturated and unsaturated dicarbonic acids, purine compounds, inorganic acids of the group of halogens and chalcogens, and their salts, phosphoric acids and their salts, alkali metal salts and alkaline earth metal salts, in such quantity and in such a way that the pH of the resulting solution remains above 7; and subsequently foaming the solution with a hardener/foaming-agent solution in the conventional manner.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 130 words
A method of preparing a urea-formaldehyde combination foam that is low in formaldehyde which comprises: (a) adding to a conventional solution of a urea formaldehyde resin precondensate, before forming, up to 50% urea (relative to the solid resin substance) and one or several connecting agents from the group consisting of, formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, uric acid, xanthine, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, thiosulfuric acid and phosphoric acid and their salts, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate, sodium chloride and potassium chloride, said connecting agents being added in such quantity and in such a way that the pH of the resulting solution does not fall below 7; and then (b) foaming the resulting solution with a hardner/foaming-agent solution in a conventional manner.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 130 words
