Construction
Quality construction depends on quality materials. Construction materials made with eco-friendly products are finding increased customer interest. Manufacturers are challenged with meeting these demands without impacting product functionality, quality and cost.
Our natural, responsibly-sourced vegetable oils, starches and other bio-based products may be part of the solution.
- Materials that meet stringent low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) requirements
- Bio-based alternatives to formaldehyde binders and resins
- Modified linseed oils for hardboard manufacturing
- Environmentally advantaged road dust solutions and concrete add mixture ingredients
- Reduce waste and environmental impact during the manufacturing process
- Increase the use of natural, sustainable ingredients in your materials
Product overview
|
- Oxi-Cure® low-VOC oils and coalescing agents
For hardboard manufacturers, Oxi-Cure® low-VOC oils have been specifically developed to help manufacturers meet low-VOC regulations while maintaining overall coating performance. Select Oxi-Cure® products are recommended as oils in “no-bake” manufacturing processes that help lower energy use and reduce emissions.
- Agri-Pure® Gold™ vegetable oils
For high temperature processing applications, our Agri-Pure® Gold™ vegetable oils can be modified to provide increased viscosity, reduced volatility, and increased flashpoint. This makes them a lower-cost alternative to expensive synthetic-based fluids. These are also excellent oils for use in road dust applications that require bio-based ingredients.
- Linseed oil
Linseed oils are recommended as binders and for surface coating in hardboard manufacturing. Our linseed oils are available in various viscosity grades and are modified both physically and chemically. Dryers and other compounds are added to impart specific functionality.
- Soy flour
Soy flour adhesives like Cargill’s Prolia™ soy flour are a natural replacement for formaldehyde and phenol-based resins that have been targeted for removal from wood materials.
