Purac, a leading player in natural food preservation and biobased building blocks & chemicals, and Perstorp, a leading specialty chemicals company today announced a research and business development partnership for caprolactone lactide co-product, for amongst others coatings and adhesive markets.<\/b><\/p>\n
Combining the complementary strengths of Purac in renewable lactic acid based chemicals and Perstorp in specialty products for coatings and plastics has already resulted in partly renewable caprolactone lactide co-products.<\/p>\n
Possible uses for these new caprolactone lactide co-products are, amongst others, as polyols for coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers and as hot-melt adhesives. Its unique composition makes it possible to control both the melting point and mechanical properties and reduce the crystallinity of polyols.<\/p>\n
“We look forward to our cooperation with Perstorp. Our first jointly developed caprolactone lactide co-products show that the modification of existing resins with biobased PURALACT\u00ae lactide adds value to the value chain by combining increased sustainability with enhanced performance”, according to Vice President Chemical & Pharma, Marco Bootz.<\/p>\n
“We are very excited about this strategic partnership with Purac, which has a strong position in bio-based products for a broad range of industries. With Perstorp’s strong position in specialty products for coatings and plastics, our respective skills and experience comprise a good foundation for a successful research and business development and means that we are expanding our CapaTM range with partly renewable products,” says Market Development Director, H\u00e5kan Bj\u00f6rnberg.<\/p>\n
The new caprolactone lactide co-products will be launched to the market by Perstorp during 2013 and presented both at K-fair and at the European Coatings Show. A number of lead customers have already been supplied with the new co-resins and have approved these in their final products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
