A new generation of polyols

Some producers process soybean oil with simple methods to produce one or two natural oil-based polyols that deliver little advantage over unmodified castor oil, but RENUVA™ Renewable Resource Technology has the ability to give birth to an enhanced generation of polyols. Polyols made using RENUVA technology deliver excellent performance and enable customers to create products with high levels of renewable content, without the odor often associated with bio-based products.

Even better, this break-through chemistry allows Dow to design natural oil-based polyols for a wide breadth of applications. From elastomeric coatings to soft cushions, Dow can use RENUVA technology to construct a polyol with renewable content to meet customer needs.

Initial applications for natural oil polyols will target:
Adhesives, Automotive, Coatings, Elastomers, Floor Covering, Furniture and Bedding, & Sealants
