During a webinar hosted by Urethanes Technology, Ingevity Corporation unveiled its latest polycaprolactone product collection to expand the low-temperature limits of polyurethane (PU) performance.
Numerous commercial prospects exist in various industries, such as transportation, aerospace, footwear, manufacturing, construction, and medical markets, by improving the low-temperature performance of PU materials. In addition, having the capacity to function effectively in low and high temperatures is advantageous for various applications, such as industrial wheels and rollers, automotive bushings, mechanical seals, and outdoor footwear used for snow sports and other activities.
Commercial Director for Engineered Polymers at Ingevity, Joel Neale, said, "The introduction of Capa LT to our polycaprolactone portfolio addresses a gap in the market and provides solutions to meet customer challenges." He added, "Additionally, Capa LT reduces the dependency on polytetramethylene glycol (PTMEG) technology, which has recently faced supply challenges and forced PU producers to find alternatives."
