description Product Description
Poly(ethylene adipate) is widely used in the production of biodegradable polymers and plastics, making it a key component in environmentally friendly materials. It is often employed as a soft segment in the synthesis of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs), which are utilized in flexible foams, adhesives, and coatings. Additionally, it serves as a precursor in the manufacture of polyester resins, contributing to the development of durable yet degradable products. Its compatibility with other polymers also makes it valuable in creating blends that enhance material properties such as elasticity and toughness. In the textile industry, it is used to produce fibers with improved moisture-wicking and breathability characteristics. Furthermore, its biodegradability makes it suitable for applications in packaging, agricultural films, and disposable items, aligning with sustainability goals.
