SUSTAINABILITY

Our goal is to take sustainability into account when making daily company management decisions and developing long-term strategic expansion plans. Moreover, we understand that we cannot change the world on our own. That is why, with all our heart, we do our best not only to set an example to inspire our clients and partners, but also to promote integrated sustainable production and consumption as well as recycling.

POLYURETHANE AND SUSTAINABILITY

Although polyurethanes are based on petroleum, which is a finite resource, they actually help conserve many other resources. Thanks to polyurethanes, the quality of life is improving all over the world, as they allow us to offer people convenient products for everyday life, such as mattresses, pillows, orthopedic or outdoor shoes, sound insulation products, etc. Durable, versatile and comfortable polyurethanes can significantly improve our comfort and safety in many areas of our daily lives.

BIOPOLYOLS

BIOPOLYOLS

What are bio-based polyols? Natural oil polyols, also called NOPs (Natural oil polyoils) or biopolyols, are polyols extracted from vegetable oil - this is done in several ways. There are relatively few natural vegetable oils (triglycerides) in which hydroxyls are found, which determine some of the valuable properties of polyols. Castor oil is the only natural, commercially distributed oil polyol produced directly from the plant source without the use of any chemicals - in the processing of all other NOPs, plant-derived oils are first chemically modified.

By using renewable resources as feedstock, we hope to help protect the environment by reducing the demand for non-renewable fossil fuels currently used in the chemical industry and generally reducing the production of carbon dioxide, which is widely known to be one of the main causes of the greenhouse effect.
