Over the last 10 years, MPOB, through its Advanced Oleochemical Technology Division, has put in much efforts to produce new palm-based polyols. The current MPOB palm oil polyol (POP), which can now be produced in pilot plant scale, can be formulated into various polyurethane (PU) foams rigid, semi-rigid and fl exible for use in the building, furniture and automotive industries. Currently, MPOB is developing a new class of PU-laminated palm-based PU sheet.
