Elevance developing fire-resistant Biobased Polyol Ester

摘要

According to Greg Gerhardt, commercial development, manager, Elevance BPE meets Factory Mutual requirements for fire resistance, because of its high flash and fire point. "In addition, unlike many other vegetable-based esters, such as TMP trioleate, Elevance's BPE has a strong response to anti-oxidants that makes it a very attractive option to formulators of hydraulics and metalworking fluid. Elevance's preliminary data suggests that our BPE meets or exceeds the cost performance of TMP trioleate in a number of key applications," he said.
