Soy-based materials continue to expandPOSTED BY DORIS DE GUZMAN ⋅ JUNE 19, 2014 ⋅ LEAVE A COMMENT

FILED UNDER SOYBEAN

There are several presentations about the industrial use of soybeans at this week’s Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference

in Bethesda, Maryland, hosted by the American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Initiative (ACSGCI), that I might as well dig

these articles that have been fermenting in my draft box for quite a while now.

Yesterday, Linda Kim-Habermehl of Omni Tech International noted in her presentation the company’s partnership with the United

Soybean Board (USB) and cited several examples of already-commercialized soy-based products in the market developed through

the USB Checkoff program. The soybean checkoff helps facilitate market growth and creation by funding and directing marketing,

research and commercialization programs.

In construction applications, products that already contains soybean-based materials include wood composites, particle board,

flooring and plywood, biocomposites, flooring and roofing adhesives and flooring. Aside from soy protein, other natural feedstock

that are being used as additives in construction materials include walnut shell flour, pecan shell flour, wheat gluten, cellulose

derivatives, starch ethers and gums. In adhesives, soy protein and soy oil are also being used as well as linseed oil, tall oil fatty

acids and castor oil.

Habermehl cited DuPont, Applied Protein Systems, and Omnova Solutions as some of the companies currently marketing paper

products containing soy. By the way, EcoSynthetix is currently working on soy-based binders for paperboard applications, which

is funded by USB.

I have actually cited some of Omni Tech’s past market studies on soy-based industrial applications and these are great

references. I am hoping they can come up with recent market statistics for me to use. In the meantime, you can access some of

their publications on this site.

USB said it was able to help commercialize 38 new soy-based products last year that includes new additions to some popular

soy-based product categories, such as coatings, adhesives and plastics.

Here is a list of these new products: You can also check out USB’s Soy Products Guide
