ELASTISCHER SCHAUMSTOFF AUF BASIS EINES HARNSTOFF/FORMALDEHYD-KONDENSATIONSPRODUKTES UND SEINE HERSTELLUNG

1. A resilient open-cell foam bosed on a urea/formadehyde condensate which contains, as condensed units, more than 50 % by weight of urea and formaldehyde and can contain, as condensed units, less than 50 % by weight of other amino-containing, amide-containing, hydroxyl-containing or carboxyl-containing duroplast formers on the one hand and aldehydes on the other hand, which has the following properties : a) the gross density in accordance with DIN 53,420is from 4 to 80 [g.1**-1], b) the heat conductivity coefficient in accordance with DIN 52,612 is less than 0.06 [W.m**-1, 8K**-], c) the compression load deflection in accordance with DIN 53,577 at 60 % compression, devided by the gross density, is less than 0.30 [N.cm**-2/g.1**-1], and, in determining the compression load deflection at 60 % compression, the foam must return to not less than 70 % of its original dimension, d) the modulus of elasticity in accordance with DIN 53,423, divided by the gross density, is less than 0.25 [N.mm**-2/g.1**-1], and e) the deflection at rupture in accordance with DIN 53,423 is greater than 6 [mm].
