In China, Covation Biomaterials, a biomaterials company with advanced technology in the bio-based materials industry, unveiled CovationBio bioPTMEG, an advanced, sustainable polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG).
BioPTMEG is a bio-based alternative to petroleum-based PTMEG, helping customers reduce their reliance on non-renewable materials and maintain the durability and resilience expected in high performance applications such as spandex, polyurethanes and thermoplastic elastomers, the firm said.
Feifeng You, chairman of CovationBio, said: “As a force of nature, CovationBio’s vision is to build a sustainable, decarbonized materials industry. To this end, we’re proud to launch CovationBio bioPTMEG. It uses carbon absorbed by plants from the atmosphere for material creation, improving the quality of life. We’re scaling up production to cut carbon footprints.”
