In response to a rising market demand, Colonial Chemical, Inc. has been awarded funding for research into soy-based oleochemicals and their derivatives by the United Soybean Board (USB).
“We will be looking at high-oleic soybean oil (HOSO) as an alternative to high-value edible oils, using it to prepare a range of different surfactants for applications across various markets,” said Dr. Robert Coots, VP-R&D, Colonial. “Although these will be new materials for Colonial, the processes are not new, and they will be made using our current manufacturing expertise.”
