Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of low-density flexible polyurethane foams comprising reacting, in a closed mold, a mixture comprising polyisocyanates; compounds containing at least two isocyanate-reactive hydrogen atoms and having a molecular weight in the range from about 400 to about 10,000; water as blowing agent; optionally, compounds containing at least two isocyanate-reactive hydrogen atoms and having a molecular weight in the range from 32 to 399 as chain-extending and crosslinking agents; and optionally, one or more known auxiliaries and additives, wherein one or more of the reaction mixture components is heated before foaming to a temperature of at least 40.degree. C.
