The present invention relates to the use of a di-salt of malic acid in the production of polyurethane foam, wherein the di-salt of malic acid of the reaction mixture, which has at least one polyol component, one isocyanate component, one catalyst which catalyses the formation of a urethane or isocyanurate bond, optionally a blowing agent, if applicable having additional additives, is added for the reduction of the glass transition temperature of the obtained polyurethane foam, as well as a polyurethane foam having a glass transition temperature of -20 DEG C to 15 DEG C, characterised in that it has di-salts of malic acid or the reaction products thereof with an isocyanate component, wherein the share of di-salt and the reaction products thereof with an isocyanate component is less than 0.08 weight % in relation to the polyurethane foam. |
