About UBE

Founded in 1897, UBE is a chemical manufacturing company, headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan. Their products provide enhanced hydrolysis resistance, higher gloss, good flexibility, and improved scratch, and abrasion resistance. The UBE Group considers sustainability initiatives to be a key element of corporate management and aims to achieve it by effectively utilizing its management resources and creating new value for society. UBE's portfolio consists of monomers like polyols, diols, diacids, and carbonates, additives like dispersing agents, crosslinking agents, wetting agents, and solvents, and resins like polyurethane dispersions (PUDs).

ETERNACOLL® UM90(1/3)

ETERNACOLL® UM90(1/3) by UBE is a solvent-free cyclic aliphatic copolycarbonate diol. Polyurethanes produced from this grade are superior to those based on polyether diol as well as polyester diol and provides high thermal stability, hardness, high chemical resistance as well as high mechanical properties. Also provides enhanced hydrolysis resistance, higher gloss, improved scratch as well as abrasion resistance, better adhesion to metal even after weathering and better corrosion resistance by replacing the blend of a classical polyol by this polycarbonate diol in metal coatings. ETERNACOLL® UM90(1/3) is used for wood and leather coatings which further contributes to provide better stain resistance as well as enhanced performance for outdoors application, such as furniture. Also used for flooring, pavements applications.

DAXSOL® Dimethyl carbonate

DAXSOL® Dimethyl carbonate by UBE is a clear, colorless, environmentally friendly green solvent synthesized from carbon monoxide. It is VOC-free with mild & non-offensive odor, low toxicity, rapid biodegradability and low bioaccumulation. It is suitable for directly replacing polar non-sustainable solvents, such as ketones, esters, glycols, toluene, xylene, methyl ethyl ketone and n-butyl acetate. It is used as raw material for several methylation, carboxylation and carbomethoxylation processes, including pharmaceutical synthesis.<br> <ul style="padding-left: 40px;"><li>It shows fast-evaporating rate, miscibility with most of organic solvents, partial solubility in water, and similar melting & boiling points to water.</li> <li>It is non-mutagenic, non-HAPs and has low MIR values.</li> <li>It is also used as an electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries (LIB) in notebook PCs and cell phones, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).</li> <li>DAXSOL® Dimethyl carbonate is designed to prepare coatings.</li> <li>It is recommended by CHEM21.</li></ul>
