Abstract

The invention relates to water blown, low density, energy absorbing rigid polyurethane foam articles which exhibit minimal springback or hysteresis characteristics. The articles produced from the foams of the present invention maintain a constant crush strength of material up to about 70% deflection and are useful in appropriate automotive applications such as side impact bolsters.
