There is a whole science involved in this but it is basically a 2 component system. 1 side is MDI (Methyl DiPhenylene DiIsocyanate) and the other component is a mixture of polyols (one of which can be sugar such as high fructose corn syrup) , water, and catalyst(s) usually based on tertiary amines. There are also additves added such as cell openers. The 2 components are mixed in a spray gun and they react together to form foam.

What is the representative peak heat release rate for a sofa made of polyurethane foam is approximately?

The representative peak heat release rate for a sofa made of polyurethane foam is approximately 300 to 400 kW/m². This value can vary based on factors such as the specific formulation of the foam and the presence of other materials in the sofa's construction. Polyurethane foam is known for its high flammability, which contributes to its significant heat release during combustion.
