               2) from 30 to 90 parts by weight of compounds containing               
                    at least two isocyanate-reactive hydrogen atoms, having           
                    molecular weights of 400 to 10,000, and containing                
                    branched chains;                                                  
               in the presence of                                                     
               3)   one or more C1 to C6 hydrocarbons as the sole blowing             
                    agents;                                                           
               4)   from 10 to 60 parts by weight of flameproofing agents;            
               and                                                                    
               5)   from 10 to 20 parts by weight of compounds containing             
                    at least two isocyanate-reactive hydrogen atoms and               
                    having molecular weights of 32 to 399 as crosslinking             
                    agents;

               6)   auxiliary agents and additives which are selected from            
                    the group consisting of emulsifiers, foam stabilizers,            
                    catalysts, reaction retarders, cell regulators,                   
                    pigments, dyes, stabilizers against ageing and                    
                    weathering, plasticizers, fungistatic agents,                     
                    bacteriostatic agents and fillers;                                
          wherein the parts by weight of components (2), (4) and (5) totals           
          100 parts by weight, and wherein the reaction is conducted at an            
          isocyanate index of 200 to 600.                                             
               The examiner relies upon the following reference as evidence
