New method to create higher polyols yields that eliminates toxic solvent use, reduces operational costs, and process integration.
Enables improved physical properties (e.g., increased functionality, higher reactivity, low viscosity)
University of Alberta researchers have developed a new method to create higher polyol yields that are more reactive in polyurethane production processes. This method eliminates toxic solvent use and promotes the reuse of environmentally friendly alternative chemicals, thereby reducing operational costs and process integration. The result is a cheaper, uncomplicated, and industrially feasible chemical technique to produce both petroleum-based and bio-based polyols in an environmentally friendly manner.
