Palm kernel oil produced superior flexible polyurethane foam compared to sunflower and soybean oils.
Tests indicated a density of 24kg/m3 for the produced foams, with palm kernel oil being the best alternative.
Flexible polyurethane foams were produced using 20% replacement of petroleum-based polyol with renewable oils.
The study highlights the potential for renewable oils to replace petroleum-based components in foam production.
