Medium scale pilot plant facilities for production of palm-based polyols with a total capacity of 150 litres is now available in MPOB. Polyols for polyurethane industry could be produced from a wide range of palm-based feedstock of different iodine values using this system. The iodine value of a feedstock tells us the ratio of reactants that are required for epoxidation.
