Abstract

A process for converting polyurethane foam into reusable polyol composition which comprises glycolyzing the polyurethane foam to yield a glycolysis polyol product containing amines and reacting the glycolysis polyol product with an alkylene oxide in a mole ratio of <1 mole of alkylene oxide per mole of active amine hydrogen atom in the glycolysis polyol product.
