In this study, a series of ethylene glycol modified urea-melamine-formaldehyde resins (EUMFs) were synthesized from urea, melamine, paraformaldehyde and ethylene glycol, and then incorporated into rigid polyurethane foams (RPUFs) as a reactive-type liquid flame retardant. The structure of EUMFs was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry; the morphology of the foams was characterized by scanning electron microscopy; and the thermal degradation and fire behavior of RPUFs were characterized by limiting oxygen index (LOI), cone calorimetry test and thermogravimetry analysis. The results show that the incorporation of EUMFs results in an increase in thermal stability, smoke suppression and LOI of RPUFs. As the melamine loading in EUMFs increases, the peak heat release rate and the total heat release of RPUFs decrease significantly, but the LOI increases slightly. Compared with the original foam, the cells of RPUFs become less regular with nonuniform diameters. In general, EUMFs show excellent flame retardancy and smoke suppression for RPUFs.
