Abstract
Abstract A fire retardant composition comprising a dispersion of a solid fire retardant additive in a liquid isocyanate-reactive compound having a functionality of from 2 to 8 and an average equivalent weight of from about 31 to about 5000 and, as anti-settling agent, an effective amount of a fatty acid ester and/or amide. The composition is useful for preparing polyurethane foams.
