Needs Title
Soy-PK Resin
Description
OSC seeks organizations interested in using soy-PK, a soy-based resin, in commercial applications such as adhesives, coatings, plastics, and elastomers.
Background
Soy-PK (CAS# 1973457-12-3) is a proprietary soy-based resin developed to replace Bisphenol-A (BPA) based resins. Soy-PK is reactive with many cross linkers (amino resin, polymeric isocyanates and acrylates) and capable of forming coatings that match the performance of BPA based coatings.
Foam obtained using Soy-PK resin
Features and Benefits
- Bio based resin derived from soybean oil with significantly improved properties compared to alkyds and conventional oleoresins
- Enhanced chemical and corrosion resistance compared to traditional bio-based resins
- Forms more stable bonds during crosslinking as opposed to less stable esters or urethane linkages
- Excellent pot life
- Easy to formulate with traditional coating solvents
- Enhanced cure kinetics over traditional bio-based resins
- Drop in replacement for BPA and phenolics in many coating applications
- No detectable level of estrogenic activity and anti-estrogenic activity in BG1Luc assay
- Versatile resin for making coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers, and foams

Key success Criteria
Opportunity should preferably have:
- A clear path for product development
- Acceptable prospect for market demand (or at least growth potential)
- High likelihood to be manufacturable
Possible Approaches
Include, but are not limited to: adhesives, coatings, sealants, plastics, foams, and elastomers
