Publication number: 20240034917Abstract: An environmentally friendly, bio-based binder system that is useful for the formation of fiberglass insulation, the system includes: A) an aqueous curable binder composition, which includes a carbohydrate and a crosslinking agent; and B) a dedust composition, which includes a blown, stripped plant-based oil and optionally at least one emulsifying agent. The bio-based binder system is typically heated to form a cured binder system.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Applicant: CARGILL, INCORPORATEDInventors: Frank P. LOCHEL, JR., John Carl TOLFA

Patent number: 11884894Abstract: A method for producing a high viscosity, low volatiles blown stripped oil blend is provided. The method may include the steps of: (i) obtaining an oil blend of corn stillage oil and soybean oil having a weight ratio of corn stillage oil to soybean oil of from about 1:2 to 3:1; (ii) heating the oil blend to at least 90° C.; (iii) passing air through the heated oil blend to produce a blown oil having a viscosity of at least 50 cSt at 40° C.; and (iv) stripping the blown oil from step (iii) to reduce an acid value of the blown oil to less than 5.0 mg KOH/gram.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: CARGILL, INCORPORATEDInventors: Michael John Hora, Patrick Thomas Murphy, John Carl Tolfa
