One adjustment is already in effect for European CASE materials, while a second increase for North American rigid grades begins Oct. 1.

The Aug. 1 adjustments cover alcohols, aldehydes, acetate and neopentyl glycol, with increases quoted for Europe and other markets.

The project includes a renewable polyol product line and future capacity for additional specialty chemical production.

A new polyol line uses captured carbon to support circularity while maintaining performance, processing compatibility and formulation flexibility across polyurethane applications.

This article explores how polyol selection and reactivity influence formulation strategies for high-performance, self-leveling urethane coatings.

An introduction to isocyanates in coatings, covering types, properties, reactivity and key formulation considerations for self-leveling urethane systems.

Polyols made with captured CO₂ offer coatings manufacturers a sustainable option that maintains durability and performance, supporting both quality and environmental goals.

Two of the more common 2K coatings systems are polyurethane and epoxy. Part two of this series concentrates on urethanes and 100%-solids systems. 

The company received the certification at its PO/PG and polyols manufacturing site in Freeport, Texas, recognizing the implementation of decoupling fossil feedstocks by using waste-sourced feedstock.

Polycaprolactone (PCL) polyols can be used to enhance coatings that feature other polymer chemistries in both 1K and 2K coatings. This article explores the performance benefits achieved when low-molecular-weight PCL tri- and tetra-functional polyols are blended with other hydroxyl-functional polymers in 2K coatings.
