Ingevity to highlight its newest Capa® polycaprolactone polyols at the 2024 Polyurethanes Technical Conference

Ingevity Corporation (NYSE:NGVT) will launch Capa® HS, the next generation of polycaprolactone polyols for enhanced hydrolytic resistance in polyurethanes, at the Center for the Polyurethanes Industry’s annual Polyurethanes Technical Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, from September 30-October 2, 2024.

The Capa HS product series can extend the life of polyurethane elastomers in extreme weather condition applications that face exposure to harsh, wet and humid environments. Elastomers are used throughout the offshore, mining and petroleum industries in structures such as oil rigs and windfarms, in seals, bearings and joints, and as corrosion protection where durability and resistance to water are paramount.

“The latest generation of Capa polyols aims to address the extreme demands of polyurethane elastomer applications, especially in outdoor and marine environments,” said Ingevity senior vice president and president, Advanced Polymer Technologies, Steve Hulme. “The Capa HS series is the latest example of our recent Innovation thrust where we are pushing the performance boundaries of Caprolactone technology. After simulating 10 years of water ingress, we found that Capa HS maintained its integrity compared to conventional polyesters, offering formulators a clear performance advantage.”

Ingevity’s advanced polymer technologies business is the global leader in caprolactone technology and innovation, with a 50-year history of improving performance in a wide variety of end-use applications. Ingevity supplies Capa products into multiple markets, largely helping formulator and applicator customers make tougher, more durable, flexible and resistant products with more sustainable end-of-life solutions.

The Center for the Polyurethanes Industry’s annual Polyurethanes Technical Conference is the longest-running polyurethanes conference in North America and offers the unique convergence of industry expertise, professional networking, and regulatory insight. Fostering both technical and professional development, the Polyurethanes Technical Conference is the premier destination to preview the polyurethanes technology of tomorrow and key information for today.

Ingevity will present Polycaprolactone Polyols for Enhanced Hydrolytic Resistance in High Performance Polyurethane Applications on October 2 at 10:30 a.m. and the team will be on-site at table #304 during the three-day exhibition.
