Adiprene® Green, a new bio-based solution for PU elastomers

Adiprene® Green was developed to create a range of bio-based prepolymers which allow the PU processor to produce components with a reduced CO2 footprint.

Adiprene® Green prepolymers are processed in an identical manner to conventional prepolymers. No modifications to material handling, process temperatures or mixing ratios are necessary. In addition, the reactivity profile and demolding times are similar to fossil based polyether prepolymers.

When reacted with 1,4 butanediol, a range of PU elastomers with a hardness from 40 Shore A to 60 Shore D can be achieved. As the PU system is versatile, Adiprene® Green can be hand-mixed or machine mixed. Moreover, the prepolymers can be processed with Vibracat® catalysts from LANXESS. Products of the Adiprene® Green line are well suited for demanding applications such as roll covers, wheels, press sleeves or non-pneumatic tires.

The Adiprene® Green product line includes MDI Ether based prepolymers with a wide range of hardnesses that can be processed as 2K or 3K. The line allows to reach broad hardness range while maintaining excellent properties.
