...sity of 725mPa·s at 25°C and a functionality of f = 2.7. The detectable odour threshold determined by sensory testing is below 1.5 (threshold 1.5: detectable pleasant odour) and is therefore at the same level as for standard polyol (grade: Lupranol 2084; manufacturer: Elastogran GmbH, Lemförde). Properties of the Polyol The castor oil-based flexible slabstock foam polyol (grade: Lupranol Balance50; manufacturer: Elastogran GmbH, Lemförde) can be foamed in the same way as standard flexible slab...

Versatile Material with Unlimited Potential? Polyurethanes (Trade-fair-pre-report K 2007) The global market for polyurethanes has been growing steadily for years. It is driven by the desire for comfort, as in the furniture and automotive sectors, and for robust or tactile surfaces. At the K 2007 international plastics exhibition, manufacturers and processors will be providing information on new developments in these sectors. Virtually no other material combines an attractive appearance wit...

...emission flexible foam polyols. This is something that was established by researchers at Elastogran GmbH, Lemförde, and BASF AG, Ludwigshafen, both of Germany, and has opened up the way to widespread industrial application. The innovative Lupranol Balance polyol is seen to be advantageous for both producers and end consumers alike. A 10-kg mattress core in Lupranol Balance contains an average of 2.2kg verenda oil, cutting back on the consumption of fossil raw materials. Verenda oil is also suita...

...ource (ethanol) can be obtained from sugar cane, so that the resultant product can be called bio-based PE. The BASF products Ultramid Balance, a PA 6 10 based on sebacinic acid that is obtained from or oil, and Lupranol Balance, a polyol used for production of polyurethane and also based on or oil, are members of this group. In the case of such special products, the use of components from renewable resources can make sense, and not primarily because they originate in nature, but because ...

... this approach in the area of biobased plastics include polyethylene based on sugar cane [5] or polylactic acid (polylactide, PLA) derived from corn [6]. Examples in the BASF portfolio are the Ultramid Balance polyamides based on sebacic acid, Lupranol Balance, a polyol component for the production of polyurethanes or bio-butanediol (BDO), an intermediate used in polymer manufacture.Mass balance approach: In this approach, two different raw materials may be processed together within defined syst...
