Low smoke isocyanurate modified polyurethane foams are prepared from polyols and a stoichiometric excess of reactive isocyanates providing an －NCO/－OH index of 1.3-3.0, preferably from 1.6-2.3. Catalysts for the trimerization reaction of the isocyanate to the isocyanurate form are employed. The polyol used in the present invention includes from 5-100% of a digestion product which is prepared by digesting polyalkylene terephthalate residues in organic polyols. The foams produced by the method of the present invention possess unexpected properties in such areas as flame spread, smoke, and low friability. The use of the polyols described above can substantially reduce product cost, allowing the isocyanurate modified polyurethane foams of the present invention to be utilized in commercial applications.
