  • Patent number: 8501826
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for obtaining polyols from used frying oils as the starting ingredient and converting the polyols to polyurethane products. The process comprises few steps such as epoxidation process by reacting used frying oil with an acid, reacting the epoxidized used frying oil with a monohydric or polyhydric alcohol in the presence of a catalyst to form a polyols, mixing the polyols with an additive or additives and a blowing agent or blowing agents and mixing the blended polyol with an isocyanate to form a polyurethane product.

  • Patent number: 8501828
    Abstract: The present invention provides processes for producing re-bonded polyurethane foam constructs that are useful in applications such as carpet underlayments. According to the invention, a tertiary amine is employed as a catalyst either alone, or preferably in combination with other catalysts in a binder which comprises an organic isocyanate and a polyol. Inclusion of a tertiary amine as a catalyst dramatically increases production throughput.
