High‐quality brown factice is produced from meadowfoam and rapeseed oils, while a poorer‐quality factice is produced from soybean oil, a less expensive oil. A one‐to‐one mixture of soybean and meadowfoam or rapeseed oil produces a factice that has similar physical characteristics as factice produced from 100% meadowfoam or rapeseed oils. In addition, meadowfoam oil and rapeseed oil act as accelerators when mixed with castor or jojoba oils. White factice productions from soybean oil can also be improved when mixed with meadowfoam or rapeseed oils. The difference in cost, obtained by using as much as 50% soybean oil instead of the higher‐costing oil, will translate into significant savings for the factice and rubber industries.
