Abstract

Provided is, a vehicle cushion pad including a polyurethane foam, in which the polyurethane foam is made of a polyurethane foam composition containing a polyol, an isocyanate, a catalyst, a foaming agent, and an additive, the additive is a dicarboxylic acid ester compound having a weight average molecular weight of 500 to 5000, and an airflow quantity of the polyurethane foam in accordance with JIS K 6400-7: 2012 is 6.0 cc/cm 2 /s or more, and a vehicle seat cushion including a cushion main body and the vehicle cushion pad placed on the cushion main body.

Claims (12)

1. A vehicle cushion pad comprising a polyurethane foam, wherein

the polyurethane foam is prepared from a polyurethane foam composition containing a polyol, an isocyanate, a catalyst, a foaming agent and a dicarboxylic acid ester compound,

the dicarboxylic acid ester compound is an ester condensate prepared from one dicarboxylic acid molecule and two alcohol molecules, wherein the one dicarboxylic acid molecule is a dimer acid molecule and the dicarboxylic acid ester compound is selected from distearyl dimerate, dilauryl dimerate, and a polyester polyol dimerate having a weight average molecular weight (MW) of 2,500 g/mol, a melting point lower than −20° C., and an OH value of 74.4 mgKOH/g,

a content of the dicarboxylic acid ester compound is 10 to 20 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyol, and

an airflow quantity of the polyurethane foam in accordance with JIS K 6400-7:2012 is 6.0 cc/cm 2 /s or more.

2. The vehicle cushion pad according to claim 1 ,

wherein the polyurethane foam has a resonance magnification in a vibration test in accordance with JASO B407 of 1.5 to less than 3.43, and

an integrated value of a transmissibility of 1 or more at a vibration frequency of from 5 Hz to 10 Hz of 500 to less than 915.

3. The vehicle cushion pad according to claim 1 , wherein the polyurethane foam has a hardness in accordance with JIS K 6400-2:2012 6.7 D method of 80 N to 250 N.

4. The vehicle cushion pad according to claim 1 , wherein the polyurethane foam has a density of 30 kg/m 3 to 150 kg/m 3 in accordance with JIS K7220.

5. The vehicle cushion pad according to claim 1 , wherein the dicarboxylic acid ester compound is the polyester polyol dimerate.

6. A vehicle seat cushion comprising a cushion main body and the vehicle cushion pad according to claim 1 placed on the cushion main body.
