However, this option was discarded because creating a new formulation would take a long time, which was not in line with the client&#8217;s expectations.  <\/p><p> <\/p><p>2) Polyols derived from glycolysis. <\/p><p>Glycolysis is a chemical process that involves recovering waste from various types of rigid expanded foams. After conducting laboratory analyses, it was found that this option, although very interesting, could not guarantee a consistent chemical-physical quality of the product. This is because each recycling process involves different types of foam. <\/p><p> <\/p><p>3) Bio-based\/vegetable-based polyols. <\/p><p>This option, considering the client&#8217;s request, proved to be the most suitable for their needs. The chemical laboratory found that the naturally derived polyol from cardanol (a phenolic lipid obtained from cashew nut shell oil) had similar chemical-physical properties to the polyol currently in use. This meant that the chemical formulation did not need to be completely distorted, and the R&#038;D laboratory could create a new, more environmentally friendly polyurethane system in a short period of time.   <\/p><div> <\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c13a53d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c13a53d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-117dfe8\" data-id=\"117dfe8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f0d7d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"6f0d7d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a name=\"sviluppo\"><\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b34164 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5b34164\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Development<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e036ef elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4e036ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Various types of naturally derived polyols (from cardanol) were tested and analyzed in the laboratory to identify the perfect one for the client&#8217;s final application. <\/p><p>One of the very first polyols tested in the laboratory had the required chemical and physical characteristics requested by the customer.
