Fluorocarbon blowing agent compatible polyol blends are provided comprising reaction products of a combination of (a) a residue from the manufacture of dimethyl terephthalate, (b) a low molecular weight diol compound, (c) a nonionic surfactant compound, (d) optionally a hydrophobic compound, and (e) optionally a polybasic carboxylic acid compound. These polyol blends are produced by a simple heating process and are thereafter optionally blendable with various conventional polyols and other additives (including fluorocarbons and catalysts) to make resin prepolymer blends. Such resin blends can be catalytically reacted with organic isocyanates to produce cellular polyurethanes and polyurethane/polyisocyanurates.

Self-compatibilizing polyester polyol blends based on polyalkylene

Polyol blend compositions are provided containing nonionic ethoxylate propoxylate compounds and aromatic ester polyols, especially phthalate polyester polyols, which blends are miscible with fluorocarbon blowing agents. These blends are suitable for reaction with polyfunctional organic isocyanates in the presence of polymerization catalysts to make cellular polyurethanes and polyisocyanurates.

Aromatic polyester polyols fluorocarbon compatibilized with ethoxylate

Compatibility agents and polyol blend compositions are provided containing nonionic block ethoxylate propoxylate compounds, amine and amide diol compounds, and aromatic ester polyols, especially phthalate polyester polyols, which blends are miscible with fluorocarbon blowing agents. These blends are suitable for reaction with polyfunctional organic isocyanates in the presence of trimerization catalyst to make cellular polyisocyanurates.
