Renewable-based Polyurethane Prepolymers: alternative to petroleum-derived raw materials to formulate adhesives & sealants

Renewable-based Polyurethane Prepolymers
Markets: One and two- components urethane adhesives and sealants for Wood, Transportation, Furniture, B&C
Polymer: Renewable-based Polyurethane Prepolymers based on Natural Oil Polyols (NOP)

 Key Performances:

  • Environmentally friendly
  • Water Resistance
  • Chemical Resistance
  • Lower Viscosity
  • Low odor
  • Tailor-made products to better meet your needs
  •  
    Challenge:

    As in many other industries, sustainability has become more and more important to adhesives and sealants formulators. They are facing the challenge of developing environmentally sound products, while maintaining the highest level of performance of their products.

    How to formulate an efficient broad range of eco-friendly polyurethane adhesives and sealants?

    Is your innovative product a good candidate to test NOP-based Polyurethane Prepolymers?



    Solution:

    Natural Oil Polyol (NOP)-based Polyurethane Prepolymers

    Thanks to a breakthrough technology, soybean oil-based polyols, Dow Polyurethane developed innovative renewable PU prepolymers grades to specifically address this challenge. Bio-based prepolymers can be designed with a variety of specifications to achieve the desired level of performance

    You can now formulate eco-friendly polyurethane adhesives and sealants from natural oil-sources: NOP-Prepolymers can be customized to meet high formulation and mechanical requirements and be suitable to a broad range of adhesives and sealants applications like transportation, packaging, construction and furniture:

    High water resistance
    High chemical resistance
    Lower viscosity
    High modulus and tensile strength

    Not only you will make the difference with environmentally sound products, but your adhesives and sealants from natural oil-based prepolymers will exhibit comparable (and sometimes higher) level of performance as conventional prepolymers. Moreover, this breakthrough technology eliminates odor usually associated with soy bean chemistry.
