 Today's KNOWLEDGE Share

PS200 is our revolutionary 98% bio-based resin system derived from a low-carbon source – bagasse, a by-product of sugar cane processing. Highly flame retardant, PS200 offers thermal and fire protection with continuous service possible up to 150-200°C (dry), depending on the application.

Having a unique ability to cope with high pressures and rapid temperature excursions >500-1000°C, which are typical of a Lithium-ion battery thermal runaway, PS200 meets fire protection and insulation standards ISO 2685 and AC 20-135, Revised 1990. Ideal for manufacturing battery boxes, PS200 has many other applications with high abuse temperatures including brake ducts and engine covers.


We are committed to working with the composites supply chain in our combined efforts to achieve Net Zero by 2050. To achieve that, we must accurately quantify and minimise the emissions embodied in our products as well as emissions created by the company as a whole.


We have partnered with Eunomia Research & Consulting - Certified B Corp. to create a detailed GHG profile for PS200. The study spans cradle-to-gate from the cultivation of the raw material, through formulation and prepreg manufacture, to the finished packaged product as it leaves our factory.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share Researchers Identify Plastic-Degrading Microbes in Mangrove Soil An international team of researchers has developed a novel method to select bacteria from mangrove soils capable of transforming plastic. This breakthrough offers a potential new approach to tackling plastic waste pollution. By analyzing the effects of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) particles and seawater intrusion on the microbiome of mangrove soil, the team was able to cultivate a collection of PET-degrading microbes. With plastic pollution reaching alarming levels globally, even in remote ocean environments, ecosystems like mangroves—crucial biodiversity hotspots—are under threat from various stressors, including plastic contamination. “Mangrove ecosystems are exposed to significant plastic pollution, and their soils harbor diverse microbial communities, including those with potential plastic-degrading capabilities,” explained Diego Javier Jiménez Avella, a research scientist from the Micr...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : biobased content of polycarbonate diols

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share MCG increases biomass content of polycarbonate diols Mitsubishi Chemical Group (MCG) has introduced grades of its Benebiol biomass-based polycarbonate diols that have a higher biomass content. The product is primarily used in the manufacture of polyurethane resins for coatings in sectors such as automotive, furniture and outdoor products. It is also used in the production of artificial leather. Existing Benebiol grades had a bio-based content of 20-50%, but the new HSS and NLDS grades have a biomass content in excess of 80%. Some of its previous petroleum-derived grades have also been converted to biomass, as the NLS grades. This, the company said, allows it to offer bio-based grades of all its Benebiol products. The shift to biomass-based raw materials while maintaining high-quality functions will contribute to our customers’ efforts to achieve sustainable manufacturing. source:MCG/www.utech-polyurethane.com
