DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION OF POLYURETHANE FOAM USING MODIFIED CASTOR OIL AS POLYOL SUBSTITUTE

Project Overview

This project focuses on the modification of castor oil for use as a polyol in the production of polyurethane foam Polyol for Polyurethane (PU) foam can be produced from castor oil as a substitute for imported polyols by chemically modifying the oil to obtain a polyol component, which is then reacted with isocyanate to produce the foam









Funds has been released to the researcher to procure laboratory reagents and raw materials
