Abstract
Abstract Amine catalysts useful for producing polyurethane foams coated with skin by reaction of an organic polyisocyanate with a polyol. The catalysts comprise 4-methyl-1-(2-hydroxyalkyl)-piperazine, and emit no bad odor, give excellent moldability and are free from deterioration of skin and discoloration of covering materials.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
52 words
A process for producing a polyurethane foam coated with a skin comprising forming an unfoamed skin of a polyurethane elastomer or of a vinyl chloride resin in a mold and reacting an organic polyisocyanate with a polyol and foaming with a blowing agent in the presence of a 4-methyl-1-(2-hydroxyalkyl)piperazine in the mold.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
52 words
A process for producing a polyurethane foam coated with a skin comprising forming an unfoamed skin of a polyurethane elastomer or of a vinyl chloride resin in a mold and reacting an organic polyisocyanate with a polyol and foaming with a blowing agent in the presence of a 4-methyl-1-(2-hydroxyalkyl)piperazine in the mold.
