Cargill's BiOH soy-polyol, a constituent of foam, does not have odor issues at any level of incorporation. The limitation in BiOH content is related to physical properties of the foam, NOT odor. Hickory Springs' Preserve flexible polyuretahne foam contains the MOST renewable content of any foam on the market. The foam industry is a long, long way from making foam with only soy or any other renewable material. After 50+ years of dependence solely on petrochemical raw materials, Preserve is truly a trailblazing product that bodes well for the future.
