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.
DELO has developed DELO PHOTOBOND UV acrylates for optoelectronics that reportedly enable fast and true-color bonding of holographic films manufactured by Covestro.
