Filed:

Feb 22, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/770286

Inventors:

Richard L. Greer - Hermosa Beach CA

Assignee:

The Upjohn Company - Kalamazoo MI

International Classification:

C08J 914

US Classification:

260 25F

Abstract:

Phenolic foams are disclosed which are obtained by conventional procedures from phenol-aldehyde resole resins and novel premixed catalyst combinations comprising (a) a phosphonate compound ##STR1## wherein R, R. sub. 1 and R. sub. 2 are independently selected from the class consisting of alkyl having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, inclusive, aryl having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms, inclusive, and aralkyl having from 7 to 13 carbon atoms, inclusive; and (b) an aromatic sulfonic acid. The foams are characterized as non-punking, fire resistant, and fine celled foams which can be prepared at room temperature (about 20. degree. C) in thick sections without splitting or cracking. Furthermore, the foams do not require a heat curing treatment in order to achieve a thermoset state.
