Composition of foam core
All foam is usually comprised of oils, and it is these oils that form polyurethane, an organic compound. Most modern oils use petroleum as their base which is not recommended because of the damage it causes to the end product. The best oils to use are vegetable oils such as castor and soy.
Processing
The liquid oil is processed into a foam product using sugar-based alcohol derived from castor and other vegetable oils that tend to burn off during the process of manufacturing, thus producing foam. This sugar-based alcohol is known as Polyol. The foam is then used to make foam core Stow.
