                    1)   from about 50 to about 60% by weight, based on               
          total weight of a), of polyphenyl polymethylene                             
          polyisocyanate,                                                             
                    2)   from about 40 to about 50% by weight, based on               
          total weight of a), of an isomer mixture of diphenylmethane                 
          diisocyanate which includes                                                 
                         i)   from about 4 to about 30% by weight, based              
          on a)2), of 2,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate and                           
                         ii) from about 70 to about 96% by weight, based              
          on a)2), of 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate and                           
               b)   at least one polyol having from about 1 to 8                      
          hydroxyl groups and a molecular weight of from about 62 to                  
          about 6000 in amounts such that the ratio of equivalents of                 
          hydroxyl groups to equivalents of isocyanate groups is from                 
          about 0.001:1.0 to about 0.20:1.0.
