Susterra® Propanediol is the pure, renewably sourced, 100% plant-based and petroleum-free diol building block that delivers high performance across a wide 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 provides manufacturers flexibility for developing high-performing, plant-based solutions. For heat transfer fluids it functions as a food-safe glycol for process heating and cooling.
Susterra® Propanediol can help companies fulfill their sustainability goals without compromising on quality. It is made from fermentation of glucose and contains no added preservatives, petroleum-based ingredients, or animal by-products.
