a1) one or more polyetherpolyols with an OH number of 350 to 1830 mg KOH/g and a functionality of 2 to 8, and

a2) optionally up to 40 wt. %, based on the combined weight of a) and b), of one or more polyesterpolyols with an OH number of 250 to 500 mg KOH/g and a functionality of 2 to 3,

b) optionally, one or more polyetherpolyols with an OH number of 15 to 250 mg KOH/g and a functionality of 2 to 6,

c) one or more release agents comprising:

c1) one or more release agents containing ester groups, said release agent being characterized by an OH number of about 43 to about 53, and comprising the reaction product of:

(i) one or more fatty acids having 10 to 40 carbon atoms,

(ii) optionally, one or more dicarboxylic acids or polycarboxylic acids, and

and, optionally,

c2) one or more release agents containing amide groups,

d) optionally, water or a mixture thereof with one or more physical blowing agents,

e) optionally, one or more activators,

f) optionally, one or more stabilizers, and

g) optionally, other additives and auxiliary substances.

2. The stable dispersions of claim 1 , wherein c1) said release agents which contain ester groups comprise the reaction product of:
