The invention relates to a process for producing rigid polyurethane foams by reacting a) polyisocyanates with b) compounds having at least two hydrogen atoms which are reactive toward isocyanate groups in the presence of c) blowing agents wherein a mixture of b1) a polyether alcohol which has a functionality of 4 and a hydroxyl number of from 380 to 450 mg KOH/g and a viscosity of greater than 12 000 mPa·s and can be prepared by addition of ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide onto TDA, b2) a polyether alcohol which has a functionality of from 5 to 7.5 and a hydroxyl number of from 380 to 480 mg KOH/g and can be prepared by addition of propylene oxide onto sucrose and/or sorbitol, b3) a polyether alcohol which has a functionality of from 2 to 4 and a hydroxyl number of from 140 to 250 mg KOH/g and can be prepared by addition of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide onto TDA or of propylene oxide onto 2-, 3- or 4-functional alcohols, amines other than TDA or castor oil derivatives, is used as compounds b) having at least two hydrogen atoms which are reactive toward isocyanate groups. |
