UBE

UBE has the technology for producing a wide range of polycarbonate diols, according to market requirements:

• Development of technological and sustainable solutions for the industry, improving the environmental impact of materials, their performance and performance.
• Coatings with high durability for woods or floors, special paints, adhesives and polyurethane based elastomers.
• Packaging for the food industry, film, bottles for agriculture, automotive components and industry.
• Fertilizers.

INNOVATIVE ASPECTS

• In the synthesis of polyurethanes, the polyols traditionally used are generally polyesters (PES) and polyethers (PET).  Recently a new class of polyols, based on polycarbonate groups (PCD), has been introduced into the market, which greatly improves the final properties of the final polyurethane, such as resistance to hydrolysis, heat and weather conditions.

VENTAJAS COMPETITIVAS COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

• The origin of these benefits is the PU based on PCD, compared to PU-PES and PU-PET, which is due to the presence of the carbonate group in the polymer.  This group is much more resistent against hydrolysis than the ester group, and also has greater stability against UV radiation and high temperatures, giving rise to greater stability to PU-PCD compared to those of analogous PU-PET.

• Elastomers, for injection, extrusion or casting.
• Coatings, both solvent-based and water-based dispersion type PUD.
• Adhesives of high durability, high performance foams or inks.

• Paints and varnishes.
• Automotive.
• Building.
• Aeronautics.
• Renewable energy.
