Abstract
This disclosure provides methods for the chemical modification of microbial derived triglyceride oils, use thereof in polyurethane chemistries, and incorporation thereof in the production of sporting goods equipment, including, for example, alpine skis, touring skis, cross country skis, approach skis, split boards, snowboards, surfboards, paddleboards, and water skis.
Claims42
A method for producing a cast polyurethane resin, the method comprising preparing a reaction mixture that comprises:
- a) a triglyceride (TAG) polyol at an amount of about 50% to about 75% on a weight-by-weight basis of the reaction mixture;
- b) an isocyanate at an amount of about 25% to about 40% on a weight-by-weight basis of the reaction mixture;
- c) a catalyst at an amount of about 0.1% to about 1% on a weight-by-weight basis of the TAG polyol;
- and
- d) a zeolite at an amount of about 0.1% to about 8% on a weight-by-weight basis of the TAG polyol,
- thereby producing the cast polyurethane resin.

A cast polyurethane resin comprising:
- a) a polyol component at an amount of about 50% to about 75% on a weight-by-weight basis of the cast polyurethane resin;
- b) an isocyanate component at an amount of about 25% to about 40% on a weight-by-weight basis of the cast polyurethane resin;
- c) a catalyst component at an amount of about 0.1% to about 1% on a weight-by-weight basis of the polyol;
- and
- d) a zeolite at an amount of about 0.1% to about 8% on a weight-by-weight basis of the polyol.
