Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to thermoformable polyisocyanurate foams which are produced by reacting a polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanate having a specified diisocyanate content with polyethers which have an OH number between 28 and 112 and dihydric alcohols which have a molecular weight between 62 and 200 in the presence of isocyanate trimerization catalysts, blowing agents and other foaming agents.
