Abstract: A polyester polyol of formula produced by a first polycondensation (a) of a sugar alcohol Z in C3 to C8 and two diacids Y and Y? which are the same or different in C4 to C36, and a second polycondensation (b) of the product produced in (a) with two diols X and X? which are the same or different in C2 to C12, the polymer including such a polyester polyol. Also, a method for producing the polyester polyols and the use thereof in foams, adhesives, coatings or elastomers of polyurethane or polyisocyanurate.

Abstract: A flexible or semi-flexible foam, or a composition making it possible to obtain a flexible or semi-flexible foam, including a polyester polyol or a polymer comprising a polyester polyol. The polyester polyol is obtained by a first polycondensation (a) of an alcohol sugar Z in C3 to C8 and of two identical or different diacids Y and Y? in C4 to C36 and a second polycondensation (b) of the product obtained in (a) with two identical or different diols X and X? in C2 to C12.

Abstract: A rigid foam or a composition allowing a rigid foam to be obtained, including a polyester polyol or a polymer including a polyester polyol, the polyester polyol being obtained by a first polycondensation (a) of a C3 to C8 sugar alcohol Z and two identical or different C4 to C36 diacids Y and Y? and a second polycondensation (b) of the product obtained in (a) with two identical or different C2 to C12 diols X and X?.

Abstract: A device for supporting and attaching panels to a roof including an added sealing covering on the surface thereof includes brackets for tiltedly supporting and bearing the panels, including a bottom bearing portion and at least one top portion for supporting the panels, the brackets having a triangular structure and consisting of a hollow body. The device is characterized in that the bottom portion (4) of the brackets (3) is provided, on the underside thereof, with at least one added plate (5) secured to the console (3), wherein the plate(s) (5) consist of a material or contain a material that is compatible with and/or similar to the layer or the surface coating of the roof covering (2), and are bonded to the layer or the covering by an adhesive bond, and in that the top portion (4?) provides bearing surfaces for the edges of the panels or profile members for mounting such panels.
