Bio-Based Millathane Supports Environmental Sustainability

TSE Industries has published an article about how its bio-based Millathane^® polymers can be used instead of traditional petroleum-based polyurethanes to promote sustainability. TSE has developed three bio-based grades that perform similarly to its standard Millathane^® E34, Millathane^® 55, and Millathane^® 26 products. In some cases, the bio-based Millathane^® grades provided better performance.

As the article explains, TSE’s bio-based millable polyurethane contain up to 87% renewable content. Compared to their petroleum-based counterparts, these eco-friendly versions exhibited lower hardness at the same filler loadings and higher elongation at break. They also exhibited slightly better compression set resistance and greater resistance to low-temperature stiffening.
