Dimensional stabilizing, cell opening additives for polyurethane flexible and rigid foams

摘要

A method for preparing a polyurethane flexible or rigid foam by reacting an organic polyisocyanate with a polyol in the presence of urethane catalyst, water as a blowing agent, optionally a silicone surfactant, and a cell opener characterized in that the cell opener comprises the reaction product of a C1-C20 hydrocarbyl group-containing organic acid anhydride and a substituted phenol which may be alkoxylated or an alkoxylated primary alcohol, optionally reacted in the presence of a tertiary amine urethane catalyst.
