United Soybean Board

Better chemistry, better products from U.S. Soy! Learn how soybean-based chemistry improves product performance and sustainability for a wide range of applications from building materials to personal care at the United Soybean Board exhibit, Booth #2691. Experts will answer your questions on chemical derivatives, improved functionality, quality, sustainability, product innovation and more.

Today, more manufacturers are turning to renewable resources for raw materials to meet a growing customer expectation. U.S. Soy is renewable and sustainable by nature to help companies meet those  expectations for better performing products—and better products for human health and the environment. In addition to high performance, soy-based products offer a range of eco-friendly benefits that vary with the applications. These include: alternative to harsh chemicals; reduced toxicity; reduced VOCs; improved indoor air quality; biodegradable;  life-cycle advantages; lower carbon dioxide emissions; reduced energy costs; reduced processing costs; and reduced environmental compliance fees.

The USB booth will feature a large display of more than 50 products made with soybean-based chemistry, including surfactants for personal care and cleaning applications; paints and stains; asphalt modifiers; sealers for wood and concrete; rubber applications; thermoset applications ranging from polyurethane spray foam insulation to vanity tops; industrial lubricants; and a variety of cleaners and solvents. Major brands marketing soy-based products include: Goodyear, Sherwin Williams, Rust-Oleum, Cargill, Ford Motor Company, Lear Corporation, John Deere, Columbia Forest Products and Huntsman.

The United Soybean Board (USB) is a farmer-funded organization working with industry to commercialize industrial applications using chemical derivatives from U.S.-grown soybeans, including new high oleic soybean oil (HOSO). As an innovation leader, USB is partnering with industry to deliver sustainable solutions to every life, every day with U.S. Soy. USB represents more than 500,000 U.S. soybean farmers in 31 states.
