Oxymer™ improves on the polycarbonate diols currently available for PUD coatings with better film hardness, balanced hardness to flexibility ratio and stronger water and chemical resistance, including resistance to acid and base, acetone and ethanol.

The Oxymer™ range, especially our Oxymer™ M112, also gives PUD coatings the best, most powerful adhesion to metal and plastic substrates, such as aluminum, steel, ABS, Polyamide and PVC, than the polycarbonate diols available today can. Our Oxymer™ M112 is particularly useful in making waterborne PUDs that look better and last longer. Oxymer™ C112, a complementary product, gives more flexible coatings that retain hardness.

While existing polycarbonate diols are crystalline solids, Oxymer™ offers the added processing advantage of being a liquid, non-crystalline product and is therefore easier to handle and requires less heat or energy to melt. Oxymer™ is also a better choice for the many applications in which crystallinity poses a major challenge.

In addition, Oxymer™ gives PUD coatings the extreme UV and weather resistance that make polycarbonate diols the premium solution for keeping high end outdoor products, such as leather car interiors and sports equipment, looking and performing like new for longer.

Our aim is to support formulators with the widest portfolio available tailored to PUDs, which includes our Oxymer™ range, Capa® Caprolactones, dispersing monomers, and aliphatic isocyanates, and to help PUD formulators to develop totally unique polycarbonate diols, fine-tuned to their specific needs.
