Ayub Mulla - Covestro

ABSTRACT
Sustainability is increasingly impacting on the product and raw material purchasing decisions of customers, brand owners and consumers. Although several biobased polyol solutions have existed, up to now, the limiting factor in developing biobased polyurethanes has been the need for polyurethane crosslinkers based on renewable feedstock.

Now Covestro has solved another part of the puzzle of how to develop more sustainable polyurethanes with the release of a new aliphatic polyisocyanate. This is the first polyurethane crosslinker on the market with a significant renewable content that has not come at the expense of performance.
