Rigid urethane foams made from polyester polyols and processes for producing them are provided. The foams are made by reacting a mixture that comprises an aromatic polyester polyol having an average functionality of about 3.0 or less, a hydroxyl number above 100 mg/KOH/g, and an average molecular weight less than 3000; from about 1 weight percent to about 30 weight percent of a saccharide; a blowing agent; and an isocyanate, and said foams having an isocyanate index from about 0.8 to about 3.0. The foams have a high closed cell content and a high free rise compressive strength and slightly lower thermal resistance than expected for their density. |
