\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Polyols & Derivatives segment includes the Polyols, Polyurethane Systems and Alkylphenols business units. Polyols are feedstocks used in the manufacture of polyurethane (PU) foams. They serve a fascinating range of applications in a large number of different industries: from iPoltec\u00ae PU foam technology from the laboratories of PCC Rokita SA through to our PU foam systems for the effective thermal insulation of buildings.
<\/br>\n\nPCC Rokita SA is Eastern Europe’s most significant and Poland’s only producer of polyether polyols for the production of PU foams, a segment with clearly growing sales fields. Our polyols are equally the basis for soft and hard foams, as well as for CASE applications (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, Elastomers). \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\u201cPolyols\u201d is a generic term for multivalent alcohols, organic compounds that contain at least two hydroxyl groups in the molecule. PCC Rokita SA focuses particularly on the manufacture of polyether polyols. These polyols react, for example, with isocyanates to produce polyurethane (PU). <\/p>\n

Polyurethane has a large number of applications, and it is the polyols employed that determine its properties. Under the brand name Rokopol\u00ae, PCC Rokita SA offers more than 30 different polyols and polyol formulations. In addition, our Warsaw affiliate PCC Prodex Sp. z o.o. and its subsidiary PCC Prodex GmbH in Essen also develop, manufacture and market PU systems. <\/p>\n

Our polyether polyols are used, for example, to produce flexible PU foams, which form the basis of comfortable cold foam mattresses or cushions with high rebound elasticity. Car seats and bicycle saddles are also made of PU foam, as is the molded foam of dashboards. PU is found in sports field floor coverings and in the soles of comfortable sports shoes. Products based on our polyether polyols also ensure thermal insulation in refrigerated vehicles. And assembly foams are also made from polyols. Our specialty polyols are used in coatings, adhesives, impregnations, and sealants. Special polyols are used to develop PU elastomers, rubber-like materials that are used, for example, as textile fibers. This group of applications is summarized under the term CASE: Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants and Elastomers. Even artificial leather is manufactured based on polyols from PU. <\/p>\n

The applications of our PU systems are likewise widely varied. They extend from thermal insulation products, as used in pipelines for example, to specialty PU adhesives applied in mining to consolidate crumbling rock strata and provide a reliable seal against inflowing water. We have also developed a PU foam spray system for roof insulation applications in the construction industry. This enables rigid foam to be sprayed in liquid form as a roof coating to enhance the thermal insulation of buildings. The reaction mixture begins to foam within a few seconds, producing a seamless and jointless layer that offers outstanding insulation values. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
