There is disclosed a bio-based polyurethane foam useful as rigid insulation in which the reactant portion of the B side is composed of a transesterified and hydroxylated derivative of vegetable oil, preferably soy and or linseed oil; water and minor amounts of catalysts and surfactant. The vegetable oil is obtained by reacting the oil with a bio-based, multifunctional hydroxyl compound such as glycerol, sorbitol, or fructose. The A and B sides are admixed in weight proportions of 20 to 60 parts organic polyisocyanate (A side) and 80 to 40 parts polyol (B side) per 100 parts of finished insulation. Preferably a tin catalyst and an alkyl diethylene diamine cocatalyst are used to minimize cure time of the foam insulation.
