Abstract

Rigid cellular foams characterized by carbodiimide linkages are prepared by the catalytic condensation of an organic polyisocyanate in the presence of a catalytically sufficient amount of a carbodiimide catalyst and an exotherm generating reactant which is either (a) an oxazolidine or (b) an enamine. The foams hereof are characterized by excellent flame retardancy, weight retention and low friability.
