Sustainable Industrial Resins from Vegetable Oil - NetComposites. Bio-resins made from vegetable oils could offer a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based thermoset resins. New research has developed viable ways of making them using cost-effective green technology. Thermoset resins are some of the most commonly used materials in the construction, furniture and automotive industries to make a wide variety of composite materials from particleboard to glass fibre panels. At present thermoset resins are mainly derived from petrochemicals, and the toxicity and volatility of starting materials such as formaldehyde require careful environmental, health and safety monitoring.
But there could soon be a new, greener alternative on the market based on a new generation of 'bio-resins' - thermoset resins derived principally from vegetable oils such as rapeseed. A key goal of the project was to develop a thermosetting resin system derived from vegetable oils such as rapeseed oil, which is widely grown in the UK. Bio Composites - Composites. As biomaterials technology and knowledge are steadily advanced, their commercial importance in almost every area of manufacturing grows accordingly. BC Materials helps organisations identify and exploit these emerging opportunities. BC Materials carries out fundamental and applied research into the use of bio-synthetics for products as diverse as chewable dog toys and extreme weather walking gear. In other areas, we have helped producers of thermal and acoustic insulation switch from mineral to natural fibre sources and found a way for farmers and growers to earn money from agricultural waste and by-products like cereal, straw and sugar beet to deliver practical, profitable applications for state of the art biomaterials technology.
