Robotic solution for cleaning the seabed
CARBONIPUS encompasses a series of new chemical processes for obtaining polycarbonates and polyurethanes that are not based on isocyanate (NIPUs), with modulated properties for different applications.
PROBLEM/OPPORTUNITY
Polyurethanes are currently manufactured from polyols and isocyanates of petrochemical origin. Isocyanates are highly toxic compounds that can react with water present in air humidity, creating production issues. This has generated market interest in developing polyurethanes that are not based on such a compound.
Potential Market
- Polycarbonates and polyurethanes are two of the most widely used polymers in a multitude of applications, with global markets of €10B and €45B, respectively.
We offer
- TRL 3
- Technology protected by the patent families derived from WO2014114823
- Expert and multidisciplinary team, with extensive experience in scaling up chemical processes
