Our Focus

In short, We Enable Sustainability, but what does that mean?
We help our customers increase the sustainability of their products.
For a builder, we can increase the energy efficiency of their building.
For a manufacturer, we can reduce the amount of petroleum they use
in their formulations for products like car seats and carpet backing.
The entire company is dedicated to providing excellent service and performance:
- By providing personalized technical support to our customers and advice to our customers
- By providing high-quality products that reduce our customer’s carbon footprint without sacrificing performance

Our History
Established in 2003, our initial goal was to bring to market better building insulation. While in the labs, our formulators developed a high bio-carbon content soy polyol that can replace some petroleum polyols. Polyols are the building blocks of polyurethane foams. Today we have two product lines: Agrol®, soy-based polyol and BioBased Insulation®.
Our Products - Polyols
Agrol® is a family of soy-based polyols introduced in 2005. Agrol® 2.0 - 7.0 have 99% renewable content, and Agrol Diamond® has 86% renewable content based on ASTM D6866. These polyols are USDA Certified Biobased Products and are an exciting option for environmentally-conscious manufacturers who want to decrease their use of petroleum-based polyols.
In comparison to petroleum-based polyols, Agrol® polyols have lower VOCs, result in a carbon benefit, have a lower global warming potential and require less fossil fuel to produce. Agrol® is used in a variety of polyurethane products including flexible seat foam, carpet backing and carpet padding.
Our Products - Insulation
BioBased Insulation®, spray polyurethane foam insulation, helps lessen the environmental impact of residential and commercial structures. The biggest benefit to the environment comes from the performance of our products, which increases the energy efficiency of buildings and reduces their carbon footprint.
We integrate rapidly renewable ingredients as a replacement for a portion of the petroleum in many of our insulation products - without hindering product performance. Some of our spray foam formulations incorporate our Agrol® polyols. We also offer products that have replaced chemical blowing agents with water and have attained third-party certifications that include being ICC Rated, GREENGUARD Certified for Children and Schools and BRE Certified.
We manufacture our products in Rogers, Arkansas and Georgia.
