Eleven papers on sustainable polyurethane production at UTECH Europe
15/01/2015
During the session, speakers will present 11 different papers on renewable resources, looking at different approaches to increasing sustainability in the manufacture and use of polyurethanes, including new global developments in the production of raw materials.
Speakers will include Kai Klockemann of Performance Chemicals GmbH, who will ask if there is a limit to the renewable or recycled products that manufacturers can incorporate into a polymer, and Invista’s Richard Beatty, who will give a paper looking at aliphatic polyester polyols with recycled content for high-resistance foams.
Two speakers, Dr Christoph Gürtler of Bayer MaterialScience and Simon Waddington of Novomer Inc will examine recent and future advances in CO2-based polyols, while Richard Janssen of Reverdia will deliver a paper on renewable polyester polyols and polyurethanes based on biosuccinium.
