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.
Characteristics of polyurethane resins based on BENEBiOL™
- high property and biomass-based：
non-edible raw material is used for some grades - long life and good appearance：
transparency, stain resistance, chemical resistance, durability, toughness, weather resistance - unique touch and feel：
flexibility, soft feel and touch, high hardness, good fit
