Arconas has become the first airport-seating manufacturer to incorporate soy-based BiOH® polyols from Cargill. BiOH polyols give airport passengers the opportunity to rest comfortably on a more environmentally responsible choice. Soy-based BiOH materials replace a portion of the petroleum ingredients typically used in foam production. Arconas is a global leader in airport seating, servicing some of the world’s largest airports such as Boston Logan, Dallas/Fort Worth, JFK, Hong Kong, La Guardia, Lisbon, Orlando, and Ottawa, among others. Arconas has already introduced Cargill’s BiOH polyols for current orders and will increase the percentage of soy-based components during 2010. All Arconas’ airport-seating lines adhere to a strict environmental policy and have passed the ANSI/BIFMA emissions test. "We are pleased to partner with Arconas to bring more environmentally friendly seating products to airports around the world," said Yusuf Wazirzada, business unit leader of Cargill Bio-based Polyurethanes. “Foam cushioning made with soy-based BiOH polyols is widely used in residential furniture, but expanding the use of BiOH polyols to meet the seating needs of airport customers is an exciting next step.”
