Abstract
A construction board comprising (i) a foam body having a generally planar shape with first and second planar surfaces, where said foam body is a closed-cell foam body including pentane and a blowing agent additive that has a Hansen Solubility Parameter that is greater than 17 MPa−0.5 contained within the foam body; and (ii) first and second facers attached to said first and second planar surfaces, respectively.

A construction board comprising:
- (i) a foam body having a generally planar shape with first and second planar surfaces, where said foam body is a closed-cell foam body including an acyclic pentane and a blowing agent additive contained within the foam body, where the blowing agent additive has a Hansen Solubility Parameter of from 17.0 to 35.0 MPa-0.5, where the blowing agent additive has a boiling point, at one atmosphere, of less than 150° C., where said blowing agent additive is selected from the group consisting of ketones, aldehydes, ethers, esters, halogenated hydrocarbons, and aromatics, where the acyclic pentane and the blowing agent additive form a physical blowing agent mixture, where the physical blowing agent mixture includes from about 7 to about 35 mole % of the blowing agent additive based on the total moles of physical blowing agent mixture, where the closed-cell body is a polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam body prepared by reacting an isocyanate-containing compound with an aromatic polyester polyol, and where the isocyanate-containing compound and the aromatic polyester polyol are reacted at a molar ratio to provide an iso index of at least 220;
- and
- (ii) first and second facers attached to said first and second planar surfaces, respectively.
