Susterra® 1,3-Propanediol as a bio-renewable monomer for resins

Supplied by Primient Covation

Susterra® 1,3-propanediol (BioPDO™) offers a versatile, bio-based solution for producing polyesters, polyether polyols, and reactive diluents. 

 

To meet sustainability goals and reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions, the coatings industry is shifting from petroleum-based inputs like BDO to renewable alternatives.

 

In alkyds, it lowers viscosity, boosts solids, reduces VOCs, and aids emulsification. It also serves as a bio-solvent, enhancing open time in architectural coatings. 

 

Watch this webinar that explores BioPDO™'s role in enabling high-performance, low-impact formulations.
