Power2Polymers<\/strong>, a spin-off from RWTH Aachen University, has developed an innovative technology for the production of cost-effective, sustainable and high-performance polymer products for specialist applications such as lubricants, industrial adhesives and sealants. The technology is based on the integration of a novel building block called POM into base polymers. Protected by a broad patent portfolio comprising eight patent families, the resulting materials offer performance advantages such as improved material compatibility and a CO\u2082 footprint approximately 40% lower than that of reference materials. They are recyclable, and the POM building block can be derived from renewable raw materials. Furthermore, they have the potential to serve as a sustainable alternative to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), the ban on which is currently under discussion in the EU and the US due to health and degradation risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
