Use of post-production waste in manufacturing rigid polyurethane foams

The foams were studied for mech. strength, brittleness, dimensional stability at elevated temp. In addn., an anal. of cell structure and thermal stability of the resulting materials was carried out. The products were recommended as cosmetic pumices.
