For those who are not familiar with the formulation of PU, it is typically manufactured from the combination of a polyol and an isocyanate. Bio-succinic acid is now being used to replace the (usually) adipic acid component of the polyester polyol chain.<br \/>\nReverdia\u2019s Biosuccinium is produced at commercial scale since 2012 in Cassano, Italy, using the company\u2019s patented low-pH yeast technology. Covestro said it is planning to expand its bio-based TPU production in Taiwan to industrial scale. Bio-based Desmopan products are available in various hardness grades, including 85 Shore A, 95A and 60D. They reportedly match the properties of conventional grades. The biomass content of the bio-based TPU is 65% for 85 Shore A, 52% for 95A and 42% for 60D.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, BioAmber just announced its recent quarter earnings result so I\u2019m looking forward to reading the progress of their Sarnia bio-succinic acid plant. I am liking how the bio-succinic acid industry is progressing so far despite the current low oil price environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Covestro will employ the bio-succinic acid for its Desmopan brand TPU for use in a variety of applications including footwear and consumer electronics.
