Two Malama Composites BioFoams Earn USDA Biobased Product Label
On August 26, 2015, Malama Composites, Inc. (Malama) announced that its Studio BioFoam® product had earned the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Biobased Product Label. This news was followed by a second announcement on August 27, 2015, when another biobased foam produced by Malama, Pacific BioFoam™, also received the Biobased Product Label from the USDA. Malama is a Biobased and Renewable Products Advocacy Group (BRAG®) member that develops and manufactures foams made from sustainable resources. Studio BioFoam is the first and only biobased rigid urethane foam to receive a Certified Biobased Product Label while Pacific BioFoam has the highest biobased content of all commercially available two-part urethane foam systems. Both products are made of zero emission materials, including vegetable polyol and water as a blowing agent.
