Abstract

Abstract Covers rigid polyurethane foams possessing unusual dimensional stability and heat distortion properties. Said foams are obtained by reacting in the presence of a blowing agent and a catalyst of polyurethane formation, an organic polyisocyanate and a polyol combination comprising 5-85 percent by weight of a copolymer of allyl alcohol and styrene and 15-95 percent by weight of a polyether polyol having a hydroxyl number ranging from about 200 to about 800, said weight percentages being based on the total weight of said polyol combination.
