Performance Materials
In a context of the global development of plant-based chemistry, Roquette offers the industrial markets new, innovative and sustainable monomers to create solutions for safer and more sustainable polymers.
Innovate beyond nature with POLYSORB® – the high purity isosorbide
Roquette has developed a high purity, versatile ingredient with outstanding qualities and functionalities: POLYSORB®. This enables your polymers to be more resistant to temperature and have better mechanical and optical properties.
POLYSORB® can be used either directly as a very pure monomer or in the form of a derivative (functionalized monomer or plasticizer).
It offers valuable solutions to performance materials markets: polyesters, polycarbonates, composites and coatings, polyurethanes, TPU, etc.
| GRADES | POLYSORB® PA | POLYSORB® LP | POLYSORB® PSA |
| Characteristics | Versatile, applicable for many purposes | Liquid form in water, easy to handle | Suitable for high temperature reaction |
| Applications | Composite-Coating, polyesters, polycarbonates, polyurethanes | Polyesters | Polycarbonates, polyurethanes |
Innovate sustainably with BIOSUCCINIUM® – the bio succinic acid
Succinic acid is a chemical traditionally used directly in a variety of industry applications for the production of several polymers and resins. BIOSUCCINIUM® offers a renewable alternative.
BIOSUCCIUNIUM® opens up many possibilities to create high-performing and sustainable end-products: from packaging and disposable plastic-based products to composites and coating, going through anti-corrosion and cooling fluids.
With more than 80 years of experience and know-how in plant-based polymer chemistry, Roquette’s dedicated lab teams will guide you to new horizons.
