Maskimi Polyol Sdn. Bhd., a subsidiary company set up in 1997, is involved in the manufacturing and marketing of Natural Oil Polyol (‘NOP’) and NOP based Polyurethane systems, as well as providing necessary information and technical assistance to customers.
The product is environmental friendly and is in high demand in industries such as building construction, refrigeration and furniture. The polyurethane is used as raw material for cold insulation, pipe insulation, roof panelling, furniture parts, spray foam, car bumper insert and others. A plant with an investment of RM8 million is set-up and located at Kajang, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia.
70% of the production was supplied within the domestic market, while 30% of the production was exported to various countries especially in the Asian Region, such as Brunei, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and the Middle East.
In June 2007, the company penetrated into the PU Flexible Foam industry’s flexible PU foam market, which is bigger than Rigid Polyol and offers opportunity for further growth. The company has also re-invented the NOP process so that it can be successfully applied in processing fish oil Polyol. With the first stage of testing being good in quality, the flexible NOP is now being tested in the second stage.
