    Abstract: A new method for preparing foamed materials involves the reaction of: (a) isocyanates; (b) compounds reactive to isocyanates of molecular weight 500-8500; and optionally (c) chain lengthening and/or crosslinking agents of molecular weight 60-499 in the presence of: (d) a propellant; and (e) a catalyst, and optionally (f) adjuvants and/or additives. Foamed materials are prepared by reaction of (a) isocyanates with (b) compounds reactive to isocyanates of molecular weight 500-8500 and optionally (c) chain lengthening and/or crosslinking agents of molecular weight 60-499 in the presence of (d) a propellant and (e) a catalyst, and optionally (f) adjuvants and/or additives. The isocyanate (a) is 2,4- and or 2,6-toluylenediisocyanate and/or 4,4, 2,2, and/or 2,4-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, and the reaction is carried out in the presence of (e1) 0.02-0.08 wt.% triethylenediamine and 0.05-0.3 wt.% of at least one aminoalkyl and/or aminophenyl-imidazole (e2) of formulas (I) and/or (II): where: R -R = phenyl, halogen, H, 1-10C linear or branched alkyl, 1-4C alkoxy, N-mono- or 1-4C N,N-dialkylamino, N-mono- or N,N-dialkylaminoalkylene, i.e. 1-4C alkyl and 2-4C alkylene, R = R , with the exception of halogen and alkoxy; Y = H, 2-4C hydroxalkyl, or hydroxypolyoxyalkyl with 2-20 alkylene oxide units, X (catalyst) = 2-6C alkylene or phenyl, Z = H, 1-4C alkylene, phenyl, 2-4C hydroxyalkyl, or 2-20C hydroxypolyoxyalkylene, and the weigh proportions of (e1) and (e2) are based on the weight proportion of component (b)(sic). Independent claims are included for: (1) A spongy plastic based on polyurethanes, prepared as above; (2) a mixture containing (e1) triethylenediamine and (e2) at least one aminoalkyl- and/or aminophenyl-imidazole at an e1 to e2 ratio of 1.6:1 to 0.06:1.
