UBE’s ETERNACOLL® polycarbonate diols are used in the manufacturing of high-performing and durable polyurethane elastomers for oil & mining applications. These polycarbonate-based polyurethanes stand out for their abrasion resistance, hydrolytic & chemical stability, and thermal & oxidation resistance, crucial characteristics for the demanding working conditions in mining, oil and other related industries.
In this kind of applications, it is essential that polyurethanes retain their original properties over long periods to avoid downtime and increase productivity. Polycarbonate diols are used to design durable and high-performing polyurethane elastomers capable of withstanding these severe conditions.
Comparative tests show that polyurethanes based on polycarbonate diols have superior performance compared to those based on polyester & polyether polyols. These polyurethanes exhibit maximized mechanical properties and their retention in harsh working conditions over time.
Thus, UBE’s ETERNACOLL® polycarbonate diols enable manufacturers to produce polyurethane elastomers that meet current specifications for oil & mining applications, standing out for their durability and resistance in extreme conditions. This reduces the need for maintenance, avoids downtime, and improves overall productivity.
In summary, polycarbonate diols offer effective solutions for manufacturing polyurethanes for demanding conditions. If you want to learn more about this, you can check out and download our case study!
