SPONGE-LIKE POLYURETHANE FOAM AND ITS PREPARATION

摘要

The invention disclosed is for new improved hydrophilic crosslinked polyurethane foams which simulate natural sponges and prepared by reacting an isocyanate capped polyoxyethylene polyol reactant with an aqueous reactant and a carefully balanced combination of a nonionic surface-active agent and a liquid defoaming agent. The resultant foams are characterized by a majority of large size cells and membranes which themselves are foamed with small cells.
