Solution Overview

Problem

Polyhydroxy polyurethane resins that use carbon dioxide as a raw material are inferior in performance and lack the necessary characteristics for industrial applications, such as heat resistance, chemical resistance, and abrasion resistance, making them unsuitable as replacements for fossil-based plastics, and they also contribute to carbon dioxide emissions.

Innovation Solution

A polysiloxane-modified polyhydroxy polyurethane resin is developed through a reaction between a 5-membered cyclic carbonate polysiloxane compound and an amine compound, which enhances the resin's properties like lubricity, heat resistance, and non-tackiness, and allows it to incorporate carbon dioxide, making it suitable for various applications while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
