| 1. A rigid or semi-rigid polyurethane foam comprising the reaction product of:
(A) less than 75 pbw, based on 100 pbw of component (B), of at least one polyisocyanate; with
(B) an isocyanate-reactive component having a solids content of at least 40% by weight, an overall hydroxyl number of the
liquid, non-solids portion of at least 160, and comprising:
(1) at least 50% by weight of a polymer polyol having a solids content of at least 30% by weight, in which the base polyol
of the polymer polyol has a hydroxyl number of at least 70 and a functionality of 2 to 8, and
(2) no more than 50% by weight of one or more second polyols, said second polyol being different than the polymer polyol (1),
with the sum of the %'s by weight of polyols (1) and (2) totaling 100% by weight of (B);
in the presence of
(C) at least one blowing agent;
(D) at least one surfactant; and
(E) at least one catalyst.
