Available Technologies
Airable Research Lab has several market-ready technologies available for licensing. We are also interested in partnering with organizations to customize and commercialize any of these products. For additional information on any technology, click on the image or contact us.
Carbonated Soy
Airable has synthesized carbonated soy-based products. These materials transform CO2 into useful bio-based cyclic carbonates that may be used in non-isocyanate polyurethanes. Our carbonated soy product has high (78%) bio renewable content and sequesters CO2, providing a more sustainable feedstock.

High-Melting Soy Wax
Airable Research Lab has synthesized a soy-based wax that can replace higher-melting wax in formulations. The bio-based wax provides an alternative to petroleum-based products or imported materials, such as high-performance carnauba, paraffin, and montan waxes. Airable’s unique wax is made from widely available renewable resources, allowing for effective and stable supply chains.

Polyol
Airable Research Lab has developed a degradable soy-based ester polyol. Polyols are commonly used in the production of polyesters and polyurethanes, which are found in a range of applications such as foams, automotive and aircraft coatings, windows sealants, electrical components, rollers, belts, wheels, beddings, and furniture cushioning.

Soylicone
Airable Research Lab has synthesized a renewable, soy-based oil that can replace silicone oil in formulations. The product can be used as a low-temperature silicone replacement in formulations (polishes and lubricants), with broad potential applicability, from home DIY projects to industrial uses.

Soy-Based Sealant
After prolonged exposure to the weather, concrete surfaces become damaged and discolored. Airable has developed a soy-based concrete sealant that acts as a water repellent when applied to porous surfaces. In lab testing, Airable’s sealant demonstrated improved water repellency over similar commercially available products.

Soy-Based Structural Adhesive
Airable Research Lab has developed a BPA-free structural adhesive with high bio-based content, addressing the market demand for adhesives from sustainable sources. Researchers have demonstrated proof-of-principle with this two-part epoxy acrylate, and the first round of testing shows promising results.

SAXETHANE
Airable Research Lab has developed a urethane-modified soy-based fatty acid ester that can substitute for petroleum-based chemicals, enabling a variety of low-cost and low-toxicity products. SAXETHANE has potential applications as an additive for stoving and air-drying enamels, thixotropic modifiers for solvent-based paints, friction reducers, and plasticizers.

SAXE-ONE
Airable Research Lab has developed a multifunctional soy-based fatty acid ester that can substitute for petroleum-based chemicals, enabling a variety of low-cost and low-toxicity products. SAXE-ONE has potential applications as a paint stripper or lubricant, as well as other industrial applications that entail extreme exposure conditions (temperature, pH, microbes, and corrosive environments). The product can also be used as a starting material for making acrylate monomers, friction reducers, plasticizers, and linear alpha olefins.
