  • Patent number: 7141613
    Abstract: The invention relates to flame resistant rigid foams and formulations useful for the production thereof. The polyol formulation must include at least one substance which is inert with respect to isocyanates, does not deplete the ozone layer and has a boiling point below 55° C. and a reaction product of at least one compound with an aromatic ring, at least one aldehyde or ketone and at least one primary or secondary amine. This polyol formulation is reacted with an isocyanate, optionally with other commonly used additives, to produce rigid flame resistant foams.
