Soya-based polyurethane
Battelle scientists have invented a novel, water-based polyurethane – environmentally responsible, cost-effective, soya-based and free of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent. This new polyurethane has fewer odours than its petroleum-based counterpart and can be used in a wide variety of coatings and adhesives. Battelle’s recipe reduces costs, handling, reporting regulations, vapours and pollution.
