The paper presents studies on the influence of temperature and atmosphere composition on the thermal degradation products evolved from flexible polyurethane foam. The experiments have been carried on within the temperature range 200–700°C in air atmosphere and oxygen–nitrogen–helium mixtures. The main volatile toxic products and weight losses during thermal degradation of the polyurethane foam have been determined. The test results have been presented graphically.
