PCD_BENEBiOL™

Biomass-based polycarbonatediol with superior characteristics

Polycarbonatediol(PCD) is a linear polycarbonate with hydroxyl groups at both ends. It easily reacts with isocyanate compounds(e.g. MDI, TDI, IPDI, H12MDI), and generates polymers with characteristics such as durability and chemical/hydrolysis resistance.

BENEBiOL™ is the biomass-based PCD developed by our proprietary manufacturing technology. Because of “key monomer“ of each grade, polyurethane resins based on BENEBiOL™ will show an outstanding property level with regard to flexibility and chemical/stain resistance for example, in addition to the characteristics of conventional PCD. Besides, your product will be equipped with unique touch and feeling.

Furthermore, BENEBiOL™ enables your product to be more sustainable, as some of raw materials of BENEBiOL™ are biomass-based.

The low-odor, low-leachable anion exchange resin reduces the release of total organic carbon (TOC) and amines to prevent offensive odors.

Acrylic-based

The weakly basic anion exchange resins use either a polystyrene or polyacrylic ester frame and a primary-ternary amino group as the functional group. Although the anion of a salt like NaCl or Na2SO4 cannot be exchanged, the exchange of an anion of a mineral acid such as HCl and H2SO4, or the salt of a weak base like NH44Cl can be carried out.

Type I Structure:  Strongly basic anion exchange resin

An amino functional group is incorporated into the anion exchange resin enabling the exchange of anions like the Cl- ion and the SO4-- ion. Strongly basic anion exchange resins and weakly basic anion exchange resins can be defined according to the basic strength of the amino functional group.
The ion exchange resin that has a quaternary ammonium group is strongly alkaline and dissociates just like NaOH and KOH. Therefore it is called a strongly basic anion exchange resin.

Methacrylic acid-based weakly acidic cation exchange resin

The weakly acidic cation exchange resins have the carboxylic acid group (-COOH) as the exchange group. There are two kinds --- a methacrylic acid type and an acrylic acid type. The acrylic acid weakly acidic cation exchange resin is used for processing water with high carbonate hardness. The methacrylic acid type is used for purification of antibiotics and amino acids.
