STUDYING THE SUITABILITY OF NINETEEN LIGNINS AS PARTIAL POLYOL REPLACEMENT IN RIGID POLYURETHANE/POLYISOCYANURATE FOAM

Studying the Suitability of Nineteen Lignins as Partial Polyol Replacement in Rigid Polyurethane/Polyisocyanurate Foam

In this study, nineteen unmodified lignins from various sources (hardwood, softwood, wheat straw, and corn stover) and isolation processes (kraft, soda, organosolv, sulfite, and enzymatic hydrolysis) were used to replace 30 wt.% of petroleum-based polyol in rigid polyurethane/polyisocyanurate (PUR/PIR) foam formulations.Lignin samples were characte
