We have developed an array of bio-based oils, lubricants, plastics and other products suitable for industrial applications. One of our innovations is our BiOH® polyols, a soy-based ingredient used in making flexible foam for upholstered furniture and bedding, carpet backing, and automotive cushioning. Such foam cushioning is traditionally made from petroleum. Switching to BiOH polyols reduces petroleum consumption, leaves a smaller environmental footprint and supports farmers. Every one million pounds of BiOH polyols used instead of petroleum-based materials saves 2,000 barrels of crude oil.  Local retailers offer a variety of BiOH polyols products. This innovation received the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
