A flame retardant, halogenated polyol having the formula ##STR1## wherein R is an aliphatic radical substituted with at least 2 hydroxyl groups, X is a halogen, and X' is a halogen or hydrogen, is used in the reaction mixture for preparing flame retarded polyurethanes.
A polymer polyol is produced by a process comprising free radical polymerizing an addition polymerizable di-(substituted phenyl)monomer (e.g., methacrylic ester of diglycidylether of tetrabromobisphenol A) component in the presence of a polyol, wherein the monomer has at least one aromatic halogen and at least one aromatic ethylenically unsaturated substituent. The polymer polyol can also be made by copolymerizing said monomer with an additional ethylenically unsaturated monomer component such as styrene and acrylonitrile. Said polymer polyols are reacted with a polyisocyanate compound forming a flame retardant polyurethane foam.
