Cyclic carbonate monomers and materials are part of the WeCan® sustainable product lineup.
We currently offer a suite of cyclic carbonate monomers and
polyhydroxyurethane (PHU) vitrimers. The monomers use either petroleum-derived or
biodegradable feedstocks along with carbon dioxide (CO2) gas.
This enables 100% atom-efficient conversion and storage of CO2 into useful monomers
for a variety of applications.
