Capa® LT – Pushing the Boundaries of Low Temperature Polyurethane Performance

Thursday, February 23, 2023

The flexibility of polycaprolactone chemistry allows the polyurethane (PU) producer access to a huge range of polyol products with targeted performance characteristics. In this webinar, Ingevity launches its new range of premium polycaprolactone products designed to push the low temperature boundaries of polyurethane performance. Capa LT polyols have been shown to increase the working range of PU articles by up to 25°C at low temperature; all whilst maintaining the high all-round performance characteristics expected of Capa. Boosting the low temperature limit of performance of PU materials whilst maintaining other properties has a wide variety of commercial opportunities in transportation, aerospace, footwear, manufacturing, construction and medical markets. The ability to operate at both low and high temperatures has value in a host of end uses from industrial wheels and rollers, automotive bushings, mechanical seals, to snow sport and other outdoor footwear.
