A composition of solid foam–polyurethane is developed, the polyol component of which is a mixture of oligoesteralcohols obtained as waste products in the production of dimethylterephthalate, and is modified with phosphorus or phosphorus plus chlorine‐containing antipyrenes. It is demonstrated that the introduction of antipyrenes into the foam–polyurethanes substantially enhances the combustion resistance of the composition, without impairing its physical and mechanical properties.
