Susterra® propanediol
When performance matters, choose Susterra® propanediol—the pure, 100% plant-based, petroleum-free diol. Susterra® propanediol is the building block that delivers high performance in a variety of applications, from polyurethanes and unsaturated polyester resins to heat-transfer fluids.
For polyurethanes, Susterra® propanediol is an excellent polyol or chain extender that gives manufacturers flexibility when developing high-performing, plant-based solutions.
As the primary ingredient in heat-transfer fluids, Susterra® propanediol functions as a higher-performing, food-safe glycol for process heating and cooling. Susterra® propanediol has unique performance advantages: it can directly replace propylene glycol yet provides fluid manufacturers with improved performance at both high and low temperatures.
The benefits of Susterra® propanediol include:
- Pure
- Petroleum-free
- Non-toxic and food safe
- 100% sustainably and renewably sourced
- USDA 100% certified bio-based product
