              Further details regarding this subject matter are set forth           
         in representative independent claims 1 and 2 which read as                 
         follows:                                                                   
         1. A rigid polyurethane foam obtained by reacting                          
         a)an isocyanate group-containing component, with                           
         b) a component having a flashpoint according to DIN EN 22719               
         below 55°C, comprising                                                     
              b1) at least one substance which is inert toward an                   
              isocyanate, does not have an ozone-destroying effect, and             
              has a boiling  point below 100°C,                                     
              b2) a reaction product of at least one compound having an             
              aromatic ring, at least one aldehyde or ketone and at least           
              one primary or secondary amine,                                       
              b3) optionally, at least one isocyanate-reactive component            
              which contains polyester groups,                                      
              b4) optionally, at least one compound which is capable of             
              reacting with the isocyanate and does not correspond to               
              component b2 or b3, and                                               
              b5) optionally, at least one additive required for the                
              production of a foam.                                                 

         2. A polyol formulation having a flash point to [sic, according            
         to] DIN EN 22719 below 55°C, comprising                                    
              b1) at least one substance which is inert toward an                   
              isocyanate, does not have an ozone-destroying effect, and             
              has a boiling  point below 100°C,                                     
              b2) a reaction product of at least one compound having an             
              aromatic ring, at least one aldehyde or ketone and at least           
              one primary or secondary amine,                                       
              b3) optionally, at least one isocyanate-reactive component            
              which contains polyester groups,                                      
              b4) optionally, at least one compound which is capable of             
              reacting with the isocyanate and does not correspond to               
              component b2 or b3, and                                               
              b5) optionally, one or more additives required for the                
              production of foams.
