Composites & coatings
Sustainable and high quality thermosetting resins are increasingly demanded by the markets.
Performance Materials
In a context of the global development of plant-based chemistry, Roquette offers the industrial markets new, innovative and sustainable monomers to create solutions for safer and more sustainable polymers.
Innovate beyond nature with POLYSORB® - the high purity isosorbide
Roquette has developed a high purity, versatile ingredient with outstanding qualities and functionalities: POLYSORB®. This enables your polymers to be more resistant to temperature and have better mechanical and optical properties.
POLYSORB® can be used either directly as a very pure monomer or in the form of a derivative (functionalized monomer or plasticizer).
It offers valuable solutions to performance materials markets: polyesters, polycarbonates, composites and coatings, polyurethanes, TPU, etc.
