KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) and Techbond Greentech Sdn Bhd will be working together to produce palm-based polyol which will be used in polyurethane adhesives to replace formaldehyde-based adhesives.

With the introduction of the polyol technology, Techbond Greentech will now produce sustainable palm oil-based polyol to produce new industrial grade polyurethane adhesives and ultimately commercialise the product.
