Indiana based InfiChem Polymers is first in North America to implement the process that converts polyurethane scrap foam into new green polyols for polyurethanes, trademarked Infigreen Polyols. Recently, the company completed the construction and validation of its first production facility located in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
The technology is based on glycolysis process which chemically depolymerizes polyurethanes into liquid initiators, which are used to produce green polyols. The first generation of Infigreen Polyols have greater than 60% recycled content. It can also be used in spray foam applications, flexible foams, elastomers, and other traditional polyurethane applications.
