1. A process for preparing a high heat-distortion-temperature polyisocyanurate polymer, which process comprises:
- reacting 100 parts of an MDI prepolymer with from about 5 to 50 parts by weight of a caprolactone polyester polyol in the presence of a catalytic amount of a trimerization catalyst, and wherein the MDI prepolymer is prepared by reacting 100 parts of an MDI, having a functionality of about 2.4 or less, with from about 35 to 75 parts of an ethylene-oxide-capped, polypropylene oxide polyol.

Abstract
A process for preparing a slow-burning, low-smoking, high heat-distortion-temperature polyisocyanurate polymer and the polymer produced thereby, which process comprises reacting an MDI prepolymer with a caprolactone polyol in the presence of a trimerization catalyst, wherein the MDI prepolymer is prepared from an MDI having a functionality of about 2.4 or less, and particularly a 2.4 isomer, and with an ethylene-oxide-capped polypropylene oxide polyol, the process providing for the formation of a rigid, high heat-distortion RIM or an open-spray molded part.
