Abstract:
The emission of 2,4- and 2,6-diaminotoluene, triethylenediamine, diethanolamine and other volatile organic compounds from polyurethane foams was examined in environmental chamber. Tested materials did not release of amines. The emission of total volatile organic compounds showed differences for polyurethane samples but did not exceed ecological standards.

Molecular Weight of Step-Growth Polymers
As the step-growth polymerization involves step-wise condensation of monomers, the molecular weight also builds up eventually. Consequently, high molecular weight polymers are obtained at the late stages of the polymerization, where 99% of monomers have been consumed.
