A few days ago, Ford Motor Company announced that it will develop a foam based on castor oil mixture . It is reported that this material should be used in the dashboard of future Ford passenger cars and commercial vehicles .
Lightweight cars are a hot topic on a global scale. Recently, in order to achieve the new fuel economy indicators, the global auto parts manufacturers have made a variety of attempts. The industry generally believes that the transformation of automotive trim parts and a few components to composite materials is only a beginning.
Ramie is a plant widely found in the tropics. Castor oil, as a natural renewable resource, is inexpensive and has excellent low temperature performance and water resistance. Castor oil-based foams are considered more durable materials than materials used in the past. According to tests, the tensile strength of the new material increased by 36%, tear strength increased by 5%, and elongation at break decreased by 12%. The castor oil-based foam is provided by BASF, a leading supplier of polyurethane solutions. Previously, castor oil mixtures have been used in nylon products under the hood.
Ford claims that this new type of foam hybrid material can maintain its original shape better during the use of the car. This product is 43% faster than the traditional foam mixture restitution, which in turn improves the production process. Based on the properties of the material, Ford said that in the future, the application of castor oil foam blends will be extended to more Ford's global product lines.
At the same time, castor oil is a recyclable foam extracted from plants, effectively reducing the use of oil, thereby improving the automotive processing process. It is also an initiative that is conducive to the sustainable development of mankind. Model production for every 300,000 Ford cars will save more than 5,000 barrels of oil. The release of this new data has become a very exciting news in North America.
BASF related responsible person revealed that the use of castor oil-based foam material simplifies the production process of automobile dashboards, which greatly saves time and improves the overall output of automobile manufacturers.

Castor oil, a fatty oil obtained by extracting and refining mature seeds of Ricinus communis L. ricinus. It is the only commercial oil based on hydroxy acid. The main producing areas of ramie are Brazil, India and the former Soviet Union, and all the provinces in China are planted. Castor oil has a high economic value, it is a medicinal laxative; textile, chemical and light industry and other departments use castor oil as a dyestuff agent, lubricant, plastic injection, emulsification punishment and manufacturing raw materials for paints, paints, soaps and inks. .
