Claim 1
Independent Claim
23 words
The polyurethane foam of claim 1 wherein said starch is selected from the group consisting of potato starch, corn starch and mixtures thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
36 words
The polyurethane foam of claim 2 wherein the proportion of said phosphoric acid is equivalent to between about 1.5 and about 3 moles of P2O5 equivalents in said phosphoric acid per glucose unit weight of starch.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The polyurethane foam of claim 3 wherein said polyether has a hydroxyl number of between about 300 and 800.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
98 words
