Welcome to the BioNIPU Final Event
Isocyanate-free textile coatings and elastomers
Bio NIPU aims to develop bio-based and non-toxic polyurethane via isocyanate free synthesis for end products in the textile and elastomer industry. Fully renewable resources, such as residues from sugar refineries and from the production of biofuel, natural oils and fats, are assessed to develop bio-based non-isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU).
Participation is free of charge, but registration is necessary.
Date: 15 December 2022 (10.00 - 15.00)
Venue: Centexbel, Technologiepark 70, 9052 Zwijnaarde, Belgium
