Abstract
Abstract A process for producing a polyurethane foam from a foam raw material containing polyols, organic isocyanates, catalysts and blowing agents, which comprises using as the polyols a high-molecular weight polyol having a hydroxyl number lower than 100 and a low-molecular weight polyol having a hydroxyl number higher than 200 which are mixed at a ratio of 4:6 to 6:4 (by weight), and also using as the catalysts a tertiary amine alone. Polyurethane forms having good buckling performance can be obtained by the process and they are expected to be useful as a packaging material, shock-absorbing material, heat-insulating material, and so on.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
A process for producing a polyurethane foam having good buckling performance by a one-shot process or prepolymer process which comprises: mixing a raw material comprising polyols, an organic isocyanate, a catalyst and a blowing agent, said polyols consisting of a mixture of a high-molecular weight polyol having a hydroxyl number of from 25 to 100 and a molecular weight of from 2000 to 4000 and a low-molecular weight polyol having a hydroxyl number of from 200 to 600 and a molecular weight of from 200 to 800 at a weight ratio of 4:6 to 6:4, and said catalyst consisting of a tertiary amine, wherein said organic isocyanate is used in an amount of from 20 to 70 parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the total amount of said polyols, and said catalyst is used in an amount of from 0.1 to 3 parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the total amount of said polyols, and foaming said raw material to obtain a polyurethane foam.
