Oligoester alcohols are synthesized from the residues from the distillation of crude dimethyl terephthalate and recrystallization of the fraction dimethyl terephthalate/dimethyl isophthalate, diols, triols, tetrols, and tall oil. The polyol component containing various oligoester alcohols is suitable for preparing rigid polyurethane foams with good thermal stability and improved resistance to combustion.
