PERSTORP
Lactide copolyols developed with up to 50% renewable content
A range of “Capa” lactide copolyols has been developed by Swedish speciality chemicals producer Perstorp (Perstorp; www.perstorp.com) to provide PU formulators with opportunities to create high performance products with reduced carbon footprints. The company introduced three diols and one triol at the recent “Utech Europe” 2015 (www.utecheurope.eu) international polyurethanes exhibition and conference, held in Maastricht / The Netherlands from 14 to 16 April.
The 8000 Series lactides are liquid polyols produced by copolymerising Perstorp’s “Capa” caprolactone with renewable lactide monomers. Depending on the grade, they have up to 50% renewable content, and offer the same level of quality and consistency as the company’s caprolactone polyols. The polyols offer improved solubility, enabling formulators to reduce or even eliminate the use of solvents. They are suitable for a wide range of polyurethane elastomers, adhesives and coatings.
