Discover the multiple functionalities of lime and minerals
Polymers
React
Lime participates in the production of different complex organic polymers by creating radicals that form new molecules:
- epichlorohydrins are used for epoxy resin production.
- propylene oxide (PO) is an intermediate product for e.g. polyurethane (PUR)
- monopropylene glycol (MPG) enables airplane de-icing and is a liquid in heat exchangers.
