Levupol

Chemistry

• Levupol is a novel compound, β-hydroxy esters, developed by reacting bio-derived feed stocks. 
• Levupol is multifunctional and is ideally suited to make environmentally- friendly polymer microcapsules that are free of toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde, isocyanates, and bisphenol A. 

Features and Benefits

 

• Self-crosslinking and able to meet demanding barrier properties required for chemical and water resistance.
• ​​Inherently antimicrobial with corrosion protection performance. 
• ​​Post functionalized to form a non-ionic surfactant, adding to its  antimicrobial and corrosion protection.
• Lower viscosity compared to traditional bio-based polylols.
• ​Higher bio-based content (>95%) compared to traditional bio-based polyols.
