Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Determine, for larger explosive manufacturing companies represented in study:
1. soybean oil is economically advantageous and reasonable?
2. soybean oil be widely available or only to smaller regions?
3. How would incorporating soybean oil impact the mixing process of the explosive?
4. How does the stability of the soybean oil compare to diesel fuel in terms of storage and performance?
5. Could the soybean oil be applied to emulsions?

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
