Purac and Perstorp Partner to Develop Caprolactone Lactide Co-Product
Purac, a leading player in natural food preservation and bio-based building blocks and chemicals, and Perstorp, a leading specialty chemicals company, today announced a research and business development partnership for caprolactone lactide co-product for the coatings, adhesives and other markets.
Possible uses for the new products are polyols for coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers, and as hot-melt adhesives. The unique composition makes it possible to control both the melting point and mechanical properties, and reduce the crystallinity of polyols.
