In the partial prepolymer method all the isocyanate is reacted first with part of the polyol; this intermediate is referred to as the A component. The remainder of the polyol, containing the catalyst, blowing agent, and other ingredients, forms the B component.

Flexible polyurethane foam has been in existence since the mid-1950s. Because of its performance characteristics it has a wide variety of uses.... It serves as cushioning in upholstered furniture and mattresses. It protects carpet by providing a resilient underlay. Automobile and airplane seats contain foam. Packaging and medical applications are also common. Flexible polyurethane foam is the product of an exothermic reaction that creates a resilient cellular matrix that can then be cut to size for its intended use. Since the late 1950's, auxiliary blowing agents have been used in the manufacture of polyurethane foam. Two main characteristics of flexible foam are density and firmness(or softness). Auxiliary blowing agents help control both of these characteristics. By vaporizing at an appropriate temperature, the auxiliary blowing agent produces additional bubble growth and, thereby, reduces the density of the foam.  3, record 4, English, - flexible%20polyurethane%20foam

Polystyrene foam comes in two major categories, expanded bead, and extruded. Expanded bead foam is made by superheating small pellets of styrene so that they rapidly expand(sort of like popcorn) to form a low density foam. Expanded bead foam is light(about 1. 5 pounds per cubic foot typically) and inexpensive, and because of the way it is made, lends itself to all types of molded products. It is the type of foam found in beer coolers and most contour packaging. It is also used as a cheap insulator. Because expanded bead foam has air pockets between the beads, it is less suitable for exterior use, for flotation, or for any application where water or water vapor can invade the air pockets between beads.  1, record 6, English, - expanded%20bead%20foam

Bead Foam. This material is produced from expandable polystyrene beads (granules) ... There are two methods used in the preparation of the beads. In one, polymer granules are heated with a blowing agent (usually a hydrocarbon) that penetrates them. In the second method styrene monomer is polymerized in the presence of a blowing agent so that the blowing agent becomes entrapped in the plastic beads.... The expandable beads are converted to foam as follows. They are subjected to heating by steam, hot water or hot air to give pre-expanded beads; aged (or conditioned) for a period of time; the pre-expanded beads again heated (in a mould) so that they undergo additional expansion, flow to fill the interstices (spaces between particles) and fuse. This results in an integral moulded piece.  2, record 6, English, - expanded%20bead%20foam

La mousse moulée. Ce type de mousse est produit à partir des granulés de polystyrène expansibles dont la grosseur va de 0.2 à 3.0 mm (de 0.008 à 0.118 po) et dont la forme va des particules arrondies aux morceaux concassés. Pour préparer des particules on peut utiliser deux méthodes. Dans la première méthode, les granulés de polymère sont chauffés tout en y faisant pénétrer un agent gonflant (ordinairement un hydrocarbure). Dans la seconde méthode, le monomère styrène est polymérisé en présence d'un agent gonflant de telle sorte que ce dernier soit emprisonné dans les granulés de plastique. Les principaux agents gonflants sont des hydrocarbures (par exemple, les pentanes et les hexanes isomères), des halocarbures et des mélanges des deux. Les granulés expansibles sont convertis en mousse de la manière suivante. Ils sont chauffés au moyen de la vapeur, de l'eau chaude, ou de l'air chaud, afin d'obtenir des granulés (particules) pré-expansés de mousse; après une période de vieillissement (ou de conditionnement), les granulés sont chauffés une fois de plus (dans un moule) de sorte qu'ils subissent une nouvelle expansion, en même temps qu'ils s'écoulent de façon à remplir les interstices (espaces entre les particules) et se soudent entre eux. On obtient une pièce moulée intégrale.  1, record 6, French, - mousse%20moul%C3%A9e
