FOLLOWING a two-year test phase, Bayer MaterialScience is aiming to commercialize the use of carbon dioxide as a raw material for polyurethane foam. The company has started the planning process for the construction of a production facility at its site in Dormagen, Germany, where CO, will be used to produce precursor for PU foam. Bayer said its objective is to initially make larger quantities of this precursor available to "selective processors" from 2015. The planned production facility in Dormagen will have a facility of several thousand metric tons, though Bayer expects higher volumes in the future.
