cardyon® is an innovative raw material for the production of high quality polyurethanes. It is made with carbon dioxide (up to 20%) – a raw material which is both abundant and available as a chemical feedstock. CO₂ is already used in several applications such as in flexible foams for mattresses and in a binder for synthetic sports floorings. Usage for elastic textile fibers is currently being investigated.
