Abstract

Mixtures of aromatic polyols containing ester functionalities suitable for use as polyol extenders in rigid foams prepared by reacting dibasic acid residues with an alkylene glycol residue, the reaction product of which is reacted with recycled polyethylene terephthalate are described. Surprisingly, the process is non-catalytic. These novel polyols may be blended with conventional polyols to yield excellent rigid foams, thus serving as useful polyol extenders.
