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.
