Sustainable production of bio-based multi-reactive isocyanates (PROMIS). (PROMIS)

The main objective of PROMIS is to provide the chemicals and materials industries with the synthesis of new biomass-derived renewable aromatic and cyclic aliphatic templates that could result in 'lookalike' or new amine structures to replace the major isocyanates for PU production MDI, TDI and IPDI. A second aim of PROMIS is to develop a phosgene free route to turn the renewable amines into blocked isocyanates. A final aim of PROMIS is to evaluate the sustainability of the synthesis procedures and the resulting end products.
