Waterborne solvent free PUDs need to deliver not just low/no VOC solutions for coatings and adhesives but stable and precise performance properties within cost requirements. Our PUD building block products, such as Oxymer™, Ymer™ and Bis-MPA™ plus renewable polyalcohols give resin producers the flexibility to choose the exact properties they require be they hard to soft, rigid to flexible but always sustainable.
Ymer™ for polyurethane chemistry
Mathias Glennstål, Regional Sales Manager Nordics & CEE at Perstorp, has years of experience with PUD dispersing monomers and sees a need to help formulators to better customize durability, hardness and flexibility in end applications with solvent-free PUDs. Listen in as he takes you on a tour across the Ymer™ product portfolio, properties and application areas.

Brand Highlights
A nonionic dispersing monomer for no/low solvent PUD
- Enables solvent free PUD
- Reduce amount of harmful amines
- pH independent stability
- Increased freeze/thaw stability
- Improves flexibility and solvent resistance
- Ready to use – increased plant through-put.
- Use as it is or in combination with Bis-MPA.
- Available in three grades.
- Ymer™ available in three different grades, with different length of ethoxylation chain, to help optimizing formulations
- Key parameters affected by chain change length
- Electrolyte stability – increased by extending the chain
- Freeze/thaw stability – increased by shortening the chain
- Hardness – increased by shortening the chain
- Softness – increased by extending the chain
