Abstract: Rigid cellular polymers are made by reacting an isocyanate-terminated quasi-prepolymer with a polyol component comprising a polyester polyol having a free glycol content of less than about 7 percent by weight of the polyester polyol in the presence of a blowing agent. The combined use of the quasi-prepolymer and the polyester polyol enhances the thermal insulating properties of the foams.
