Solution Overview

Problem

Polyhydroxy polyurethane resins, which utilize carbon dioxide as a raw material, are inferior in performance compared to similar polyurethane-based resins, limiting their industrial applications and environmental benefits, particularly in reducing global warming and resource depletion.

Innovation Solution

A self-crosslinking polysiloxane-modified polyhydroxy polyurethane resin is developed through a reaction of a 5-membered cyclic carbonate polysiloxane compound and an amine compound, incorporating polysiloxane segments and masked isocyanate groups, which undergo self-crosslinking upon heat treatment to enhance heat resistance, chemical resistance, and abrasion resistance.
