Ford introduces castor oil-based foam

摘要

Ford Motor, which was the first major automaker to begin using soybean oil-based urethane foam, is debuting a foam with a castor oil blend. The material is part of a soft touch instrument panel in the 2012 Ford Focus sedan, and has 10% of its content from renewable castor oil, which comes from a plant grown throughout Asia. BASF is the material supplier.
