The biomass degree, physical properties, and dryability after washing were measured for the polyurethane foams of each example and each comparative example. The measurement results are shown in FIG.
The biomass content (vegetation content) indicates both a value measured by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS method) and a calculated value based on ASTM D6866-20.
ASTM D6866 stipulates that the concentration of carbon 14 in a reference substance and a sample of carbon 14 concentration in the atmosphere in 1950 are measured, and the ratio thereof is defined as the degree of biomass. However, since the present atmospheric carbon-14 concentration is increasing year by year, it is stipulated that this value is multiplied by a coefficient for correction. In the calculation according to ASTM D6866-20, the degree of biomass was calculated using REF (pMC) = 100.0, which is the atmospheric correction factor for 2020.
The biomass degree was evaluated by the measured value by the AMS method. The evaluation criteria were "⊚" when the measured value by the AMS method was 50% or more, "◯" when it was 24 to less than 50%, and "X" when it was less than 24%.
The calculated value is the formula: degree of biomass = number of parts of plant polyol added / (total number of parts added - gas loss)
It was calculated by gas loss=number of parts added with water/18×44.
"18" in the above gas loss calculation formula is the molecular weight of water, and "44" is the molecular weight of carbon dioxide.

Regarding physical properties, density (JIS K7222), 25% hardness (JIS K6400-2 6.7D method), number of cells (JIS K6400-1), air permeability (JIS K6400-7 A method), tensile strength (JIS K6400 -5 5), elongation (JIS K6400-5 5), tear strength (JIS K6400-5 6B), dry heat strain (JIS K6400-4 4.5.2A method), and rebound (JIS K6400-3). .

The dryness after washing was measured by the following methods for water absorption after washing, water absorption after dehydration, and water absorption after drying for 24 hours. Post-drying property evaluation and post-washing drying property comprehensive evaluation were performed. Compared to the slab foamed product, the molded foamed product has a skin layer that makes it difficult for water to escape. It was divided into slab foamed products and mold foamed products.

For the water absorption after washing, the first washing course, the second washing course, and the third washing course shown in FIG. The water absorption rate was calculated by measuring the weight of the sample each time it was washed, and the value of the water absorption rate after the completion of the third washing course was taken as the post-washing water absorption rate. The water absorption rate after each washing course is calculated according to the following formula.
Water absorption rate (%) = (weight of sample after each washing course - weight of sample before washing) / (weight of sample before washing) x 100
FIG. 3 shows the water absorption values for each time. "Before washing" means before the start of the first washing course.
The water absorbency after washing was evaluated according to the following criteria. For Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1 to 3 of the slab foamed product, "◎" when the water absorption after washing is less than 160%, "◯" when it is 160 to less than 200%, and "X" when it is 200% or more " For the molded foam products of Comparative Example 2 and Example 4, the post-washing water absorption rate was rated as "⊚" when it was less than 95%, "∘" when it was between 95% and less than 100%, and "X" when it was 100% or more.

After completion of the third washing course, the water absorption after dehydration was calculated by performing the first dehydration course and the second dehydration course shown in FIG. , the water absorption after the second dehydration course was taken as the post-dehydration water absorption. The water absorption after each dehydration course is calculated according to the following formula.
Water absorption rate (%) = (weight of sample after each dehydration course - weight of sample before washing) / (weight of sample before washing) x 100
FIG. 3 shows the water absorption values after each dehydration course.
Dehydration property after washing was evaluated according to the following criteria. For Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1 to 3 of the slab foamed product, "◎" when the water absorption after dehydration is less than 120%, "◯" when it is 120 to less than 185%, and "X" when it is 185% or more " For the molded foam products of Comparative Example 2 and Example 4, the water absorption after dehydration was rated as "⊚" when it was less than 90%, "∘" when it was 90 to less than 95%, and "X" when it was 95% or more.

The water absorption after drying for 24 hours was calculated by allowing the sample after the second dehydration course to stand at room temperature for 24 hours (20 to 28° C. is referred to as room temperature) and then calculating the water absorption from the weight of the sample. The water absorption after drying for 24 hours is calculated by the following formula.
Water absorption after drying for 24 hours (%) = (weight of sample after standing for 24 hours) / (weight of sample before washing) x 100
The water absorption values after drying for 24 hours are shown in FIG.
The dryness evaluation after washing was evaluated according to the following criteria. For Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1 to 3 of foamed slabs, the water absorption rate after drying for 24 hours is less than 1%, "◎", 1 to less than 3%, "○", and 3% or more. It was set as "x". For the molded foam products of Comparative Example 2 and Example 4, when the water absorption rate after drying for 24 hours is less than 5%, it is marked with "◎", when it is 5 to less than 10%, it is marked with "◯", and when it is 10% or more, it is marked with "×". bottom.

Comprehensive evaluation of washing dryness is "◎" when water absorbency evaluation after washing, evaluation of dehydration property after washing and evaluation of drying property after washing consist only of "◎" or "◎" and "〇". ”, If all of the post-washing water absorption evaluation, post-washing dehydration evaluation and post-washing dryness evaluation are “◯”, the washing drying comprehensive evaluation is “◯”, post-washing water absorption evaluation, post-washing dehydration evaluation And when even one of the evaluations of dryness after washing was "x", the comprehensive evaluation of washing dryness was set to "x".
