Terpineol is a monocyclic monoterpenoid alcohol that can be easily functionalized to provide a variety of chemical building blocks for the polymer industry.
Its structure allows achieving copolymers with high amount of bio-renewable content, improved recyclability, with light color, excellent heat stability, and compatibility with many other monomers.
Terpineol breadth of formulation possibilities allows to achieve various levels in solubility, thermal and surface properties, hydrophilic/lipophilic balance, or degradation kinetics.
