Industrial Uses
Building New Demand with New Uses
From soy-based carpet backing to walls and ceilings filled with soy-based insulation, new uses for soy materialize all around us. Both the MSMC and the United Soybean Board help fund the development of new soy-based products to help increase the demand for U.S. soy. Checkoff funded research focuses primarily on building soy new uses in adhesives, coatings, printing inks, lubricants, plastics, fibers and solvents.
Thanks to checkoff investments, 32 new soy-based products reached the marketplace in 2010. Because of these and other new products, industrial use of U.S. soy has jumped 50 percent since 2006. New soy developments include Ford Motor Company incorporating more soy-based foam and other components in 2011 model vehicles and lumber manufacturers replacing formaldehyde with soy flour in home-construction-grade particleboard. As these new sources of demand continue to grow, so does the demand for your soybeans.
