BENEBiOL
Mitsubishi Chemical Group Corporation Brand
Products:14
BENEBiOL™ is Polycarbonatediol (PCD); linear polycarbonate with hydroxyl groups at both ends which has been developed by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation. It can be used as a raw material of resins such as polyurethane.
Because of the combination of the “key monomer“ of each grade and carbonyl group, polyurethane resins made from BENEBiOL™ will show superior properties in terms of durability, chemical/stain resistance, and flexibility for example.
As some raw materials of BENEBiOL™ are biomass-based, BENEBiOL™ enables your product to be more sustainable.
Knowde Brand Highlights
- Chemical Structure
“key monomer” of each grade is incorporated to the structure of BENEBiOL(R: key monomer).
- Grade Categories and General Characteristics
BENEBiOL™ has three main grade categories; HS, NLDB/D, and NLB grade, which consists of different “key monomer” and has unique feature respectively. Each grade category is divided into more specific grades, depending on molecular weight, etc.
- Property Data
Eg1: Oleic Acid Resistance
Test conditions: Polyurethane film is immersed in oleic acid at 80°C for a specified time, then weighed to measure the change in film weight.
Eg2: Sunscreen ResistanceTest conditions: 5μm urethane acrylate coating and sunscreen cream
- Sunscreen cream applied to coated ABS substrate
- Heating (at 60°C, 30 min.)
- Sunscreen cream wiped off with a damp paper towel
Eg3: Stain Resistance- Denim color transfer: Indigo dye resistance test for TPU sheet
- Test method (Martindale method)
- Denim fabric 12 oz; load 12 kPa; rubbing 10,000 times
- Coffee Stain: Food stain test for TPU sheet
- The stain source is pipetted onto test pieces and left to stand 24 hours at 25°C
- The extent of the staining is evaluated for each condition after wiping.
Eg4: UV Resistance: Comparison of physical properties after a 24-hour evaluation conducted using a weather meter
- Brand Highlights
BENEBiOL™ is a bio-based polycarbonatediol with superior characteristics
- Eco-Friendly: CO2 absorption by raw materials of BENEBiOL™
- Long Life: Superior properties such as durability, chemical/stain resistance, and weather resistance will be brought to your product, by using BENEBiOL™
- Storage & Handling Conditions
- BENEBiOL™ should be sealed in a container with dry nitrogen since it is moderately hygroscopic
- BENEBiOL™ NLDB/D and NLB(NL2005B) grades are solid at room temperature, and they can become a colorless transparent liquid when heated
- Before using BENEBiOL™, it should be heated at a temperature above its melting point
- Under transport regulations, BENEBiOL™ is not classified as a UN hazard class
- BENEBiOL™ has low volatility and will not spontaneously ignite at room temperature. In the event of a fire, dry chemicals foam and plenty of water spray are effective for extinguishing
- Safety glasses and protective gloves should be worn when handling BENEBiOL™
- BENEBiOL™ is produced for industrial applications. If the intended use for BENEBiOL™ is for body contact applications such as pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics, please contact Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation in advance
