Higher line speeds, lower costs
Our innovative PU resins offer significant advantages for the pultrusion process, including low viscosity and high reactivity, which result in high line speed, improved productivity, and reduced manufacturing costs. In fact, our polyurethane pultrusion technology can save up to 20% on production costs compared to vinyl ester and epoxy systems.
More sustainable solutions available today
Covestro is dedicated to sustainability, offering Baydur® PUL resins as ISCC PLUS certified mass balance attributed products. These products have been attributed to feedstock originating from biomass, bio-waste and -residues, reducing the carbon footprint of the neat resin. Our mass balance solutions seamlessly integrate as drop-in replacements, requiring no technical modifications to existing production processes.
