While soy adhesives are still used in some specific applications, the introductionof urea-formaldehyde and phenol-formaldehyde resins in the late 1930s provided greater waterresistance and lower costs than the older soy products. Environmental concerns and rising costs forpetrochemical-based resins and requests from users for adhesives made from a renewable feedstockhave caused a resurgence... download (pdf)   New Uses Tech Sheet: Coatings 8.20.2010  Soybean oil is the most readily available and one of the lowest-costvegetable oils in the world today. For many years, soybean oil hasbeen a major ingredient in making alkyd resins, which are dissolvedin carrier solvents to make oil-based paints. While the production ofalkyd resins, finished paints and coatings may involve proprietaryformulations, the basic chemistry of converting a vegetable oil intoan alkyd resin under heat and pressure is well understood.... download (pdf)   New Uses Tech Sheet: Lubricants 8.20.2010  Increasing market penetration of soybean oil lubricants will bedriven by a combination of environmental, economic, conservationand performance issues. Petroleum-based oils, also known asmineral oils, will continue to be the most economical choicefor many producers, meeting original equipment manufacturer(OEM)-desired performance characteristics in many uses.
