Knowde Brand Highlights
- Brand Highlights
- Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation has developed BioPTMG, an environmentally friendly polyol that is manufactured from bio feedstocks.
- BioPTMG has the same performance as petroleum-derived PTMG as a raw material for polyurethane resins and polyester resins, and has excellent impact resilience, wear resistance, hydrolysis resistance, flexibility at low temperatures, etc.
- Taking advantage of its characteristics, it can be used in a wide range of fields from interior and fashion to industrial materials.
- Applications
BioPTMG shows the following outstanding characteristics as a soft segment of polyurethane and polyester resins. The resins obtained are used over a broad range of applications, from common consumer goods such as garments to industrial materials such as machine parts.
Applications are expected to continue to grow.- Impact resilience
- Hydrolysis resistances
- Low-temperature flexibility
- Wear resistance
- Tear resistance
- Fungus resistance
Polyurethane Application- Polyurethane elastomers
Thermoset elastomers (TSU)
Thermoplastic elastomers (TPU) - Paints and coatings
- Polyurethane elastic fibers (Spandex)
- Adhesives and sealants
- Artificial suede and synthetic leather
- Storage & Handling Conditions
- BioPTMG is hygroscopic and will degrade if exposed to oxygen or air, so it should be well-sealed with dry nitrogen.
- BioPTMG is a white, waxy sold at room temperature, but will become a clear, colorless liquid upon heating. If it has solidified in the drum, it can be melted by holding the drum at about 70℃ for 24 hours. Avoid localized heating, however. For storage in the liquid state, it is recommended to maintain a temperature at less than 50℃.
- BioPTMG650 is classified under the Japanese Fire Services Act as hazardous materials, Class 4, Petroleums No.4, Hazardous Rank III. Volatility is low and unlikely to catch fire at room temperature. But if it is burning, extinguish the fire with dry chemicals, alcohol-resistant foam, or large quantities of water. Although BioPTMG has relatively low toxicity and is relatively safe, use standard protective equipment such as goggles and gloves when handling it.
