Polyurethane foam
Provided is a polyurethane foam having excellent heat resistance and the like. The polyurethane foam is obtained from a material that contains a polyol and a polyisocyanate, in which the polyol contains a polyester polyol, the polyisocyanate contains a diphenylmethane diisocyanate-based isocyanate, it is preferable that the polyester polyol has one or more side chains composed of an alkyl group, and the polyurethane foam may be used as a soundproof material for vehicles.
