How to unlock the potential of Susterra® 1,3-Propanediol in resins: Application overview & diluent deep dive

The transition from petroleum-based chemicals to renewable building blocks remains a significant challenge for many companies, now compounded by ongoing global pressures on raw material availability and cost. However, these constraints are also accelerating the shift toward reliable, bio-renewable alternatives. Solutions such as Susterra® 1,3-propanediol offer consistent supply, stable pricing, and reduced dependence on fossil resources—while enabling meaningful carbon footprint reduction and introducing enhanced material properties.

In this webinar, we will explore how 1,3-PDO can be effectively used across a range of resin and coating applications. The session will highlight key use cases and include a deep dive into the development of reactive diluents at the lab scale, demonstrating strong performance and practical application potential. Topics will include viscosity reduction in alkyd binders for easier emulsification, incorporation of bio-based content in hybrid epoxy-polyester powder coatings, extended open time in architectural coatings, and improved wood penetration.

The webinar will also cover lifecycle analysis (LCA) insights and Scope 3 emissions reduction opportunities, offering valuable guidance for professionals in the coatings, adhesives, and inks industries looking to future-proof their formulations. Join us to discover how adopting bio-renewable building blocks can address current supply challenges while advancing sustainability goals.
