A method of making oleochemical oil-based polyols by mixing an acid activated
or
acid leached clay, an epoxidized oleochemical oil, alcohol, and acid activated
or acid leached clay so the epoxidized oleochemical oil reacts with said alcohol
to form a oleochemical oil-based polyol, filtering out said clay, stripping off
any excess alcohol, and recovering the oleochemical oil-based polyol.
