Abstract

Described is a lightweight open-cell flexible foam having a density no greater than about 6 pounds per cubic foot, preferably less than 1.0 pound per cubic foot (pcf) comprising the reaction product of an organic polyisocyanate and a mixture of difunctional acids, acid anhydrides, and difunctional anhydrides in the presence of a tertiary amine triazine catalyst, which reactants during the manufacturing process generate carbon dioxide, wherein the ratio of imide to amide groups in the final product is greater than 1.
