Two of the more common 2K coatings systems are polyurethane and epoxy. This and next month’s Formulating with Mike column will concentrate on urethanes, with this issue focusing on polyurethane polymers.
Cast elastomers based on PDO-sebacate polyol exhibit an excellent combination of tensile properties, abrasion resistance, thermal, hydrolytic, and solvent resistance, as well as adhesion to metal substrates. These are desirable properties for cast elastomers intended for applications as protective coatings for pipes, and coatings for sieves typically used in drilling and mining applications.
A more sustainable industry requires the discovery and utilization of new raw materials and technologies, presenting an opportunity to develop products with unique properties not previously explored in the additives sector.
All Perstorp’s pro-environment products are produced based on a traceable mass-balance system, using sustainable raw materials, and carrying the ISCC PLUS certification.
EMEROX® renewable polyester polyols are excellent raw materials for use in the manufacture of coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers for applications including siding, carpet adhesive, floor cement coating, and shoe soles.
Perstorp announced that the company is converting a large majority of the polyols produced at its largest production plant in Perstorp, Sweden, to Pro-Environment products.
Development of eco-friendly, sustainable and high-solid (low-VOC) coatings have received a lot of attention due to environmental concerns and legislative issues.
