Sustainable growth models are the need of the hour for the chemical industry. There is an increasing demand for inputs with multiple applications and renewable. In this regard, Velvetol is seen as an ideal alternative replacement for high-demand petroleum-based ingredients Its environmental footprint is very low making it ideal for use in the chemical industry. Furthermore, Velvetol is proven to be greenhouse friendly which makes it all the more sought after in the chemical industry. In this blog, we take a closer look at the various properties and applications of Velvet.
Velvetol comes from the family of Polyols which can be further categorized into Polyether polyols and polyester polyols. Velvetol is sourced from 1,3-propanediol (Susterra) making it Polyether polyols.
Polyether polyols are made from the reaction of epoxides with active hydrogen-containing compounds. These compounds are further categorized based on their many use cases. Velvetol with 1,3-propanediol (Susterra) offers renewability and consistency.
Properties:
● Sustainability:
Velvetol has 100% bio-based. All its contents are 100% sustainable are known to increase the sustainability of end-products by nearly 80%.
● Easy Processability:
With low mp, slower crystallization rates and transition temperatures, it is much easier and affordable to process Velvetol.
● Durability:
Velvetol has high durability and thermal heat capacity. It offers strong opposition to external abrasions. This property makes it a must-have ingredient for many end-user products.
Velvetol Use Cases
Velvetol is seen as the ideal alternative to petroleum-based ingredients and polyols. It is safe, effective and compatible with most product formulations. Here are some of its primary applications:
Apparels and Footwear:
Velvetol’s high abrasion resistance makes it highly desirable by the textile industry. Further, its high moisture vapor transmission rate makes it the ideal ingredient for making footwear.
Automobile Coating:
Velvetol use cases in the industrial coating have grown by leaps and bounds in recent times. It offers strong adhesive power to the metal coat and can also be used as an additive in clear coatings.
Ideal Base Fluids:
Thanks to its increased thermal conductivity and stability, Velvetol is used as an ideal base fluid in lubricants, coolants, and heat transfer fluids.
Velvetol is seen by experts as a natural and harmless alternative to petroleum-based ingredients. Considering its many commercial applications and environment-friendly properties, chemical industries in India too must look to most of its consistent qualities. Velvetol with its environmental benefits must be seen as an important aggregator towards sustainable eco-friendly growth of the chemical industry.
