Merquinsa has developed the world first ether-based Bio TPU grades introducing it at the Bioplastics Awards Conference. This new plant-based development is the last addition to the growing range of Merquinsa´s Bio TPU for "Green" injection moulding, extrusion and adhesive applications. These new Bio TPU grades will be marketed under the Pearlthane® ECO brand with a renewable content up to 60% according to ASTM D6866, and will offer an alternative to petroleum-based TPU and TPE, with excellent mechanical properties, abrasion, scratch resistance, processability and Recyclability. A preliminary life cycle analysis (LCA) indicates that manufacturing Pearlthane® ECO results in 40% less global warming emissions.
