The present invention relates to a process for obtaining polyols from used frying oils as the starting ingredient and converting the polyols to polyurethane products. The process comprises few steps such as epoxidation process by reacting used frying oil with an acid, reacting the epoxidized used frying oil with a monohydric or polyhydric alcohol in the presence of a catalyst to form a polyols, mixing the polyols with an additive or additives and a blowing agent or blowing agents and mixing the blended polyol with an isocyanate to form a polyurethane product.

Process for the production of polyurethane products

The invention relates to a biodegradable functional fluid composition based on vegetable oil. This functional fluid suitable for lubricant, hydraulic and like fluid comprises palm olein and its by-product generated from fractionation of palm oil. The by-product is esterified by a hindered alcohol prior to blend together with palm olein and additive packages. The hydraulic fluid particularly suited for tropical climate with temperature ranging from 15-40&#xb0; C.

Lubricant base from palm oil and its by-products

A process for preparing palm-based polyol monomer includes reacting unsaturated fatty acids or its corresponding triglycerides with polyhydric alcohol. In particular, one example uses oleic acid with about 70% purity as the starting material for preparing the polyol monomer. Moreover, another example uses refined, bleached, and deodorized (RBD) palm olein as an alternative to oleic acid as the starting material. The preparation of the polyol monomer involves the production of monoglyceride of unsaturated fatty acids, which was further epoxidized with peracid and finally ring opened with polyhydric alcohols. Such polyol monomer is used as a raw material for the production of various types of polyurethane products.
