The Pros:
Technology exists
Variety of new structures in polyols
“Sustainable”
Offers a solution to a growing demand for
Eco-Friendly Products
The Cons:
4
What Role Can Additives Play?
Emuslifier
……..WILL NOT make NOPs more homogeneous
……..WILL NOT increase NOPs hydroxyl functionality
……..CAN maximize NOP usage by creating a stable emulsion

Emulsifier Support Stable Emulsions
Primary- Coalesence
Emulsion Breaking
• Emulsification
- requires less mixing energy,
- is faster and finer and
- the emulsion stability is increased !
