Frequently asked questions

Up to 96% bio carbon content.

A craddle to gate calculation of our products suggests that our CO2 footprint is from -1,2 up to 1.36 kgCO2/kg

In comparison 1kg of fossil based polyol, releases up to 6kg of CO2 into the atmosphere. 

We use natural oils, e.g. recycled food waste oil and second generation feedstock – pine based chemicals which are reducing the CO2 footprint even more. The second generation feedstock means that it does not compete with the food supply chain.

Our Bio polyol OH values vary from 65 to 410 mgKOH/g

It largely depends on the product formulation components. Based on customer feedback, the average amount in the polyol component ranges from 20% to 90%.
It is worth noting that you can achieve much better results with a new formulation developed with our Bio polyols from the beginning rather than using them as a drop-in replacement.

The bio polyols with higher OH value are used for rigid PU products like spray foam, steel sandwich panels, block foam, etc, and the ones with a lower OH value are used for flexible PU and viscoelastic PU foam products.

Our production capacity is approx 2000 p.a.

Our bio polyols are amber yellow, light brown, and dark brown colored. They do not have strong smells. Depending on the amount added they can have a minor effect on the end foam color.

Our bio polyols are in similar price ranges as fossil-based polyols and significantly lower than other bio-based polyols.

Our bio polyols have a functionality range of 2 to 3.5.

Our products are in full compliance with REACH regulation.
