Abstract
A process and a polyurethane material for molding a semi-rigid integral skin foam which comprising an integral skin having a low degree of foaming and a core having a high degree of foaming. The process includes evacuating a mold cavity to reduce the pressure thereof below atmospheric pressure; injecting into the evacuated mold cavity a polyurethane material; and foaming the material to fill the cavity. The polyurethane material contains a polyol component and an isocyanate component with, at most, 5 parts by weight of a solvent for 100 parts by weight of the polyol component, in the absence of freon.
