“There are hundreds of products that soybean is used in, and the variety of products has grown substantially,” said Todd Main of the Illinois Soybean Association.
Steve Pitstick stands in newly planted soybean fields that he farms with his son, Dale, along Pouley Road in Elburn on April 18, 2024. Every year they plant several thousand acres of either soybeans or corn. Steve Pitstick has been working the fields on his family’s soybean farm his entire life. That’s long enough to have seen considerable changes in the business.
Launched by the association in March, the Soy Innovation Center is intended to serve as a virtual resource for innovators around the globe looking to test out new soy products and bring them to market. Some examples of soy-based innovations are products that can be used in manufacturing or heavy industry under high pressure and temperature, Main said. A few common uses for soy at smaller scales include foam used to put out fires and printer ink.
Ohio-based Airable Research Lab, which is working with Illinois and other top soy-producing states to develop new uses for soybeans, is testing the lubricant. The goal is to get a certificate of quality for the lubricant over the summer, Main said, after the testing phase wraps up. The idea behind the product is to save people from having to completely replace their roof. “We’re very proud of being able to take a roof and give it another lifetime,” Papendorf said. “That’s one less roof in the landfills, too.”
