Formulations to improve the CO₂ balance and the more sustainable production of low VOC materials
The CO₂ balance can be further improved using Impranil® CQ DLU which consists of approximately 34 wt. % renewable carbon.*
For waterbased adhesives, we offer with our Dispercoll® CQ U grades as a drop-in solution with an alternative share of up to 85 wt. % on solids.** The Impranil® and the Dispercoll® U product ranges with their high-performance, waterborne dispersions are an excellent choice for more sustainable processes, especially since they are well suited for the production of low VOC synthetic materials. Another application for improving the CO₂ balance involves a partly bio-based waterborne soft-touch coating with up to 33% renewable carbon in the final formulation.* *expressed as fraction of total carbon content, calculated internally and analytically verified through external C14 measurement **ISCC PLUS certified material attributed via mass balance, expressed as fraction of total mass (delivery form)
As a recognized global leader in design services, we strive to take a future-driven, holistic approach that meets tomorrow’s realities as well as placing end user needs at the heart of our designs. This concept door panel shows how material technologies can open up new future-oriented designs that are not only more sustainable but also bring added value for consumers by simplifying interiors to make them calmer and more purposeful, resulting in truly seamless journeys.
