Abstract

A method of producing interior and exterior structural members of automobiles composed of rigid polyurethane foam, which comprises foaming a composition comprising: PA0 (a) polyisocyanates selected from the group consisting of diphenylmethane diisocyanate, polyphenylenepolymethylene polyisocyanate and their modified products; and PA0 (b) polyols which have a hydroxyl value of 400-550 and contain an ethylene oxide adduct to hydroquinone having a hydroxyl value of 60-430 in amounts of 20-40% by weight based on the polyols, the adduct being represented by the general formula of ##STR1## wherein m and n are integers of not less than 1, respectively. The resultant rigid polyurethane foams have high heat resistance and toughness as well as high mechanical properties, but have no voids therein.
