Nordmann, a leading distributor, has recently entered into a strategic distribution partnership with WeylChem, focusing on the distribution of bio-based polyols for Polyurethane systems. The collaboration encompasses the supply of WeylChem's innovative Velvetol polyols within the regions of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

Manufactured by Allessa, a distinguished member of the WeylChem group headquartered in Frankfurt, these polyols are produced utilizing propanediol derived from fermented maize. Noteworthy is their significantly lower carbon footprint, with a lifecycle analysis indicating a reduction of up to 50% compared to petroleum-derived alternatives.

Distinguished by molecular weights ranging from 250 to 2700, these polyols offer enhanced processability attributed to their low viscosity. The resulting polyurethane materials exhibit commendable properties, including heightened flexibility at low temperatures, exceptional hydrolysis resistance, and notable elasticity and abrasion resistance.

The versatile applications of these bio-based polyols extend across a diverse spectrum of industries, with a pronounced emphasis on polyurethane-centric solutions. From molded components within the industrial sector to the production of synthetic leather, and coatings for the furniture and automotive industries, these polyols play a pivotal role in advancing sustainable and high-performance polyurethane applications. This partnership underscores Nordmann's commitment to providing innovative and environmentally conscious polyurethane solutions to meet the evolving demands of various sectors.
