The present invention relates to a process for obtaining polyols from used
frying oils as the starting ingredient and converting the polyols to
polyurethane products. The process comprises few steps such as
epoxidation process by reacting used frying oil with an acid, reacting
the epoxidised used frying oil with a monohydric or polyhydric alcohol in
the presence of a catalyst to form a polyols, mixing the polyols with an
additive or additives and a blowing agent or blowing agents and mixing
the blended polyol with an isocyanate to form a polyurethane product.
