There is now provided a polyisocyanate based rigid closed cell foam made by reacting an organic isocyanate with a polyol composition in the presence of a blowing agent, where the polyol composition contains at least: a) an aromatic amine initiated polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol having an hydroxyl number of 200 meq polyol/g KOH or more; b) an aliphatic amine initiated polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol having an hydroxyl number of 200 meq polyol/g KOH or more; and c) an aromatic polyester polyol having an hydroxyl number of 200 meq. polyol/g KOH or more. The blowing agent is selected from the group consisting of cyclopentane, HFC's, HCFC's, and mixtures thereof in an amount of 5.0 weight percent or more based on the weight of the polyol composition. Preferably, the blowing agent is soluble in the polyol composition without sacrificing, and advantageously improving, the thermal insulation and dimensional stability of the resulting polyurethane foam. Also disclosed are a storage stable polyol composition and methods for making a polyisocyanate based rigid closed cell foam. |

There is now provided storage stable polyol compositions and polyisocyanate based rigid dosed cell foam made by reacting an organic isocyanate with polyol compositions in the presence of a blowing agent, where the polyol composition contains at least:a) an aromatic amine initiated polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol having an hydroxyl number of 200 meq polyol/g KOH or more;b) an aliphatic amine initiated polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol having an hydroxyl number of 200 meq polyol/g KOH or more;and the blowing agent is at least cyclopentane in an amount of 7 weight percent or more based on the weight of the polyol composition; and further, the cyclopentane blowing agent is soluble in the polyol composition, and the amount of the aliphatic amine initiated polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol is 10 weight percent or less based on the weight of the polyol composition.The polyol composition is adapted to solubilize cyclopentane in the polyol composition without sacrificing, and advantageously improving, the thermal insulation and dimensional stability of the resulting polyurethane foam. It was surprising to discover that less than 10 weight percent of the aliphatic amine initiated polyol was need to accomplish these objectives, and it was further surprising to discover that the aromatic amine initiated polyether polyol improved the thermal insulation of the foam. |
