Biocongruent Chemistry — CPI 2026 Polyurethanes Technical Conference
By Saeed Fosshat, Katie Soulliere, Enoch K. Acquah, Xian Xian Du, Andrew H. Garrett and Thomas M. Garrett. Presented October 7, 2026 at the Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI) Polyurethanes Technical Conference, Orlando, Florida. Reproduced by CPI with permission of the owner.
The paper introduces Biocongruent Chemistry™: replacing part of a conventional polyol with soy-, lignin- or silicone-derived additives to keep service-life performance while improving end-of-life behavior, including a halogen-free route to replacing TCPP in PIR foam.
Subject areas
- Biocongruent Chemistry™ — service-life performance and end-of-life behavior
- Halogen-free flame retardancy for rigid and spray-applied foam
- Primary-hydroxyl soy polyols and reactive bio-content
- Catalyst and VOC reduction in reactive polyurethane systems
