Invista creates recycled-content polyol
30/08/2013
Due to their low viscosity as a liquid at room temperature, the Terrin family of polyols can minimise or eliminate the need to add solvents, which may lower the volatile organic compound content of certain formulations.
Specialty materials president Bob Francois said: “As a company committed to growth and sustainability, we are excited about the growth of this versatile polyol series.”
The company plans to carry out additional commercial trials at its Wilmington site and eventually another site located in Texas.
Polyether polyols are widely used in the manufacture of synthetic fibres and elastomeric shoe soles.
