Isothane in CO2-based polyols development

I haven’t seen any formal press release from either Econic Technologies or Isothane Limited but according to Econic, the companies are working on the application of Econic’s CO₂-based polyols in spray foam insulation (see video below).

UK-based Isothane Ltd. is a manufacturer of products used for insulating buildings, providing buoyancy for boats, protecting bridges and reinforcing roads. Econic Technologies develops catalyst technologies that incorporate waste carbon dioxide (CO₂) into polyols. The company has a demonstration facility in Runcorn, UK, to manufacture samples of CO₂-containing polyols at lower pressures and temperatures. According to Econic, the cost to retrofit a 20 ktpa polyol plant with its catalyst technology would have a payback term of fewer than two years.
