Castor Bean a good investment - Johnson Controls
Johnson Controls is using soya bean-based polyurethane foam for auto interiors
Soya bean-based polyurethane foam blends have been a big hit for auto interiors maker Johnson Controls.
Since their launch, the soyfoam seats have found a place on 11 vehicles platforms in North America. But there was a problem taking the eco-friendly seating globally — the fact that soya bean oil was not available in quite the same way worldwide.
So now JCI is giving some international agricultural flair to its plant-based urethane program.
In Asia, it will make urethane foam with about 5% content from palm oil, while European foams will use a combination of castor oil and canola oil. JCI is calling the foam ‘natural-oil polyols’ or ‘NOPs’, rather than the previous label of ‘soyfoam’.

company by the name Sundex Process Engineers from the city of Mumbai has a good techno commercial hold on the agribased businesses.
We had purchased a 500 tonnes per day solvent extraction plant from them in the year 1997 and the plant is still running at the best condition as promised by the company.
they are diversified into fields of soya , castor , canola, rape seed, mustard seed , etc oil extraction and into plant and machinery supply of their derivatives.
