Abstract
Abstract A process for producing a rigid polyurethane foam having excellent flame retardance and low-smoke development is disclosed. When the rigid polyurethane foam is produced by reacting a polyhydroxyl compound with an organic polyisocyanate in the presence of a blowing agent, a surfactant, a catalyst and other additives, 3-methylpentane-1,3,5-triol is used as a part of the polyhydroxyl compound.
