New PCD-PPG Block-Copolyether Polyol for CASE Formulations

A newly synthesized PCD-PPG block copolyether polyol can be applied to coating applications that require flexibility, in solvent-free urethane compositions that require low viscosity, and in various other CASE applications.

A new polyol (PCD-b-PPG) has been synthesized that has a low viscosity of around 800-3,000 mPa·s (at 25˚C, liquid state) and is transparent due to the use of PCD as an initiator, even after storing for a long duration. The new PCD-b-PPG polyol can be applied to coating applications where transparency is required. In addition, it may contribute to other CASE applications and solvent-free urethane compositions that can take advantage of its low viscosity.

European Perspectives

Defining a System for the Notification of Polymers

A system for the notification of polymers should be defined in the event of a change in their treatment under REACH.

At present, polymers do not have to be registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH). Nevertheless, a possible change in the treatment of polymers is envisioned in Article 138(2) of REACH, which may result in polymers being included in the registration requirements.
