Agrol®

Agrol® is a high quality soybean based polyol that can replace the conventional petroleum-based polyols. Our bio-based polyols can help the polyurethane industry become less dependant on imported mineral Crude oil. It is economically feasible and functional.

Products that contail Agrol®

• BioBased® spray Insulation
• Head and arm rests of selected models of Toyota, Honda, Ford and Chrysler 2008 vehicles
• Backing for artificial turf including artificial lawn grass, putting greens, and pla SYNLawn and turf for sport fields through Astro Turf
• BioBased® agricultural foam for swine and poultry houses
• Universal Textile Technologies "BioCel™ and EnvironCel™ eco-friendly carpet backing for Shaw, Mohawk and other leading manufacturers

Agrol® is a line of biobased polyols for commercial and industrial polyurethane applications for flexible (slabstock and molded) and rigid (insulation), coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers, etc.

• Odorless and residue free
• pH Neutral
• Multi-functional (2.0 - 7.0)

Agrol® is a 2006 P2 Awardee by the US Environmental Protection Agency!

"The P2 Recognition Project acknowledges companies for developing innovative chemistry and technologies that further pollution prevention and other environmental goals. EPA believes that the honoring of such innovations by the Agency (and the publicity associated with it) will serve as a stimulus to further innovation both to the company receiving the letter and to other chemical companies..."

Agrol® Polyols Renewable and Reliable

Agrol® polyols serve as a sustainable alternative to the petroleum-based polyols that are broadly used in the polyurethane industry. The Agrol® product line is supported by an experienced, customer-focused technical Team.

The Agrol® product line is a family of earth-friendly polyols derived from vegetable oils for use in the production of a wide range of polyurethane products that includes:

• Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, & Elastomers (CASE)
• Flexible Molded Foam
• Rigid Molded Foam
• Slabstock Foam
• Spray Foam Insulation

Agrol® products differ from other bio-polyols in that:

• Up to 96% bio-content
• Consistent quality
• Low odor
• Low acidity (neutral)
• Broad range of functionalities and viscosity
• Can be manufactured from various natural oils

Agrol® products compared with Petroleum-based products:

• Competitive in price
• Comparable or better performance
• Made using renewable feedstock
• Made utilizing less energy so result in lowering green house gasses during processing
• Do not produce byproducts during manufacturing
• Low VOC Commercially available
