Ingevity: Caprolactone technology highlighted at Chinaplas 2021

Ingevity has presented its Capa caprolactone technology at Chinaplas 2021, which was held from 13 – 16 April 2021 in Shenzhen, China. At its exhibit space and in seminars, the company demonstrated the versatility of the Capa portfolio for a wide variety of polyurethane and bioplastics applications. In particular, the company highlighted its recently launched Capa S polyol technology that enables conventional production of soft thermoplastic polyurethanes without the use of plasticisers.

“For the last 40 years, the Capa product family has helped customers create winning formulations in coatings, elastomers, bioplastics and adhesive applications,” said Steven Hulme, vice president, engineered polymers, at Ingevity. “The Chinaplas symposium is the perfect opportunity to continue to raise awareness of the benefits of polycaprolactones specifically in bioplastic and polyurethane applications, and to highlight the unique attributes enabled by our Capa S series technology.”

As one of the world’s largest plastic trade shows, Chinaplas showcases advanced technologies and concepts that further the development and production of plastic and rubber products. With an exhibition area of over 350,000 m², Chinaplas 2021 hosted more than 3,600 exhibitors.
