Wanhua Chemical showcases sustainable coatings innovations, including biobased materials, solvent-free technologies, and advanced resins, isocyanates, and inks—driving efficiency through AI-assisted R&D and smart manufacturing systems.
The report demonstrates how the bio-based products industry grew at the national level, despite the impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to raising awareness about bio-based products, their benefits, and contributions to the U.S. economy.
The new product also offers performance benefits compared to fossil alternatives, showing improved scrub resistance in coatings, shear resistance in adhesives and excellent weatherability.
The company uses renewable feedstocks, such as corn cobs, wood, and sugarcane bagasse, to make 1,5-pentanediol, which enhances the performance of everyday products, such as paints, coatings, adhesives, and more.
The ISCC PLUS-certified products manufactured at Stahl’s Waalwijk and Leinfelden locations include selected polyurethane coatings for flexible materials such as textiles, film and paper. The polyurethanes are made with between 20% and 70% renewable attributed biomass and recycled content.
According to the report, there is growing consumer demand and regulatory push for bio-based chemicals, materials, polymers, plastics, paints, coatings, and fuels with high performance, good recyclability, and biodegradable properties to underpin a transition towards more sustainable manufacturing and products.
