KRAHN Chemie Distributes New BENEBiOL Polycarbonatediol With Higher Bio-Based Content

At KRAHN Chemie, sustainability and innovation are at the heart of our operations. We are proud to collaborate with Mitsubishi Chemical Europe GmbH (MCE) as a distributor of their BENEBiOL polycarbonatediol in Poland, Italy and Benelux. MCE recently announced the launch of new high-biomass grades of BENEBiOL, called S grades. This innovative product now features grades with bio-based content ranging from 20% to 90%, offering a significant step forward for sustainable manufacturing, without compromising on performance.

What is BENEBiOL?
BENEBiOL is a pioneering polycarbonatediol (PCD) primarily used as a raw material in polyurethane resins. These resins are essential for applications such as paints, coatings and synthetic leathers found in automotive, furniture, outdoor clothing, adhesives, and other industrial applications. Known for its exceptional properties, BENEBiOL delivers:

• Superior flexibility while maintaining excellent chemical resistance.
• Stain resistance to enhance durability.
• A unique tactile feel, ideal for premium finishes.

By shifting from fossil-based components to renewable biomass, BENEBiOL enables manufacturers to achieve high quality in combination with high bio-based content.

Sustainability milestones with new grades
MCE recent introduction of the HSS and NLDS grades marks a leap forward for BENEBiOL, increasing its bio-based content up to 90% at specific grades. This comprehensive range empowers manufacturers to meet growing consumer demand for bio-based products and transition to renewable materials without sacrificing performance, as it is a drop-in solution.

As a trusted distributor of BENEBiOL, we can offer our customers technical excellence through our deep understanding of the product’s innovative design and proven capabilities as well as bio-based solutions with accurately measured biobased content according to ASTM method D6866.

Our partnership with MCE ensures access to materials that contribute to their sustainability strategies while maintaining exceptional product quality.
