Abstract

Process for preparing a flexible polyurethane foam comprising reacting at an isocyanate index of 70 to 130, 1) 40-65 parts by weight of a polyisocyanate composition comprising a) 80-100% by weight of a diphenylmethane diisocyanate component comprising, based on 100 parts by weight of the diphenylmethane diisocyanate component, i) 75-100 parts by weight of diphenylmethane diisocyanate comprising 15-75 parts by weight of 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, and 25 to 85 parts by weight of 2,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, and 2,2′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate and/or a liquid variant of such diphenylmethane diisocyanate, and ii) 0 to 25 parts by weight of homologues of diphenylmethane diisocyanates having an isocyanate functionality of 3 or more; and b) 20-0% by weight of toluene diisocyanate; 2) 20 to 45 parts by weight of a polyether polyol having an average molecular weight of 4500-10000, an average nominal functionality of 2-6 and comprising oxypropylene and optionally oxyethylene groups, the amount of oxypropylene groups being at least 70% by weight calculated on the weight of this polyol; 3) 3 to 20 parts by weight of a polyether polyol having an average molecular weight of 700-4…
