BioBased Technologies adds to polyols range

    Springdale, Arkansas -- BioBased Technologies has expanded its well-known family of Agrol polyols to include a variety of new feedstocks and a polyol specifically for flexible slabstock formulations.

    The company will introduce the new products, Agrol Prime, Agrol Star, Agrol Platinum and Agrol AO+, during the Center for the Polyurethanes Industry's Polyurethanes International Technical Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, 24-26 Sept.

    "As a company, we are always looking at new feedstocks as the source of our bio-content," said Amy Sorrell, ceo of BioBased Technologies, in a company statement. "That keeps us from basing our entire product line on one feedstock and protects us and our customers from feedstock-specific price fluctuations caused by regional issues or weather conditions."

    Agrol Prime is a highly reactive soybean oil-based, 2.25 functional crosslinker with a primary hydroxyl content of 90 percent. It's available in a range of functionalities and molecular weights.

    Agrol Star is a castor oil-based, 3 functional crosslinker with a primary hydroxyl content of 60 percent.

    Agrol Platinum is the result of a partnership earlier this year between Palmer International and BioBased Technologies, derived from Cashew Nut Shell Liquid and particularly effective in rigid foam systems. Palmer is handling product scale up and manufacturing, while BioBased Technologies has been involved in research and development, marketing and sales.
