Abstract
Disclosed is a process for preparing a rigid, hydrocarbon blown, polyurethane foam by reacting a polyisocyanate with a polyol composition comprising a fatty oil. The fatty oil has a fatty acid content, especially a hydroxyl-substituted fatty acid, which enhances the miscibility of the hydrocarbon blowing agent. A preferred fatty oil is castor oil comprising as principle constituent the hydroxyl-substituted fatty acid, ricinoleic acid. Enhanced storage stability of a polyol composition containing hydrocarbon blowing agent in amounts required for production of low density foam is observed.
