1. BiOH-Foam reduces dependence on foreign oil
For every 1 million pounds of BiOH polyols that replace traditional petro polyols in foam , approximately 2,200 barrels of crude petroleum are saved for other uses .
2. BiOH-Foam helps manufacturers and retailers differentiate themselves
Using BiOH-Foam as a component of any product helps manufacturers provide more environmentally-friendly products to consumers and differentiate themselves from other manufacturers . Retailers who sell products made with BiOH-Foam are better able to address the growing base of consumers demanding eco-friendly merchandise .
3. Products made with BiOH-Foam perform as good as petroleum-based foam
BiOH-Foam is not more biodegradable than traditional petroleum-based Foam . Thus , products made with BiOH-Foam are as long-lasting and durable . Water wash results , burn gas results , and oxidation results have proven this point .
4. BiOH-Foam leaves a smaller environmental footprint than traditional petroleum-based Foam
A preliminary lifecycle analysis of BiOH polyols compared the raw material and manufacturing processes of our products with those of traditional petrochemical polyols . The data indicated that BiOH polyols result in:
*36% less global warming(CO2) emissions ;
*61% less non-renewable energy use , 23% less total energy demand .
5. BiOH polyols technology wins Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award 2007
The Presidential Green Chemistry Award promotes innovative chemical technologies that reduce negative impacts on human health and the environment . This is the highest honor of the American Chemical Society's Designing Greener Chemicals category .
6. BiOH-Foam has already been introduced in automotive and home furnishing industries
BiOH polyols can be found in a variety of industries , including automotive , apparel and flooring products . In home furnishings , it's being used by leaders such as : Lane Home Furnishings , LEE Industries , Klaussner Norwalk Furniture , American Furniture , Bauhaus USA , Alan White Company , Old Hickory Tannery , Caye Home Furnishings , CR Home , E-collection , and The Rose Hill Company .
