On September 27, the American Chemistry Council (ACC) Center for the Polyurethane Industry (CPI) announced that Wanhua Chemical’s Wannate
9131FC won the 2023 Polyurethane Innovation Award. The Polyurethane Innovation Awards are highly regarded throughout the polyurethane industry and this annual honor recognizes innovative new commercial technologies within the polyurethane industry that will solve some of the challenges faced by the industry.

Lee, Senior Director, Center for Polyurethane Industry (CPI)
Salamone said: “On behalf of CPI, I congratulate Wanhua Chemical on this recognition and achievement. This new technology helps solve the problem of reducing carbon footprint and highlights our industry’s continued efforts in sustainable development. CPI is honored to be recognized And commend Wanhua Chemical for this cutting-edge innovation.”

Timothy L, Business Director of Wanhua Chemical (USA) Co., Ltd.
Chaffee accepted the 2023 Polyurethane Innovation Award on behalf of the company. In his opening speech, he told a story that highlighted the benefits of molded wood pallets. Many years ago, he said, he worked in a produce store. As a newbie, he moved a 50-pound (23-kilogram) bag of lime onto a pallet. Unfortunately, he failed to check the pallet for nails beforehand, and a nail punctured the bag, causing it to burst and its contents to scatter on the floor.

Chaffee said: “Wanhua Chemical is excited to use MDI-based adhesives for molded wood pallets. The pallets are nested together, which can reduce shipping costs. They can be made from a variety of waste raw materials, such as wood chips and agricultural residues, When pallets are at the end of their life, they can be ground and recycled into new pallets. Pallets offer superior strength and durability, enhanced weather and water resistance, and excellent heat and cold resistance. All of which are added Bio-based content and reduced energy requirements all at the same time.”

About Wanhua ChemicalWANNATE® 9131FC

This is a specially designed adhesive based on polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (pMDI). It is used in the manufacture of molded wood pallets. Use WANNATE®
9131FC used as an adhesive to manufacture molded wood pallets can increase production, improve product performance (such as mechanical strength, water resistance) and reduce energy consumption. WANNATE®
The 9131FC allows the use of raw materials such as processed wood waste (as opposed to logs or new wood) to manufacture wooden pallets, thereby reducing the carbon footprint and enabling a formaldehyde-free process.

Other finalists for the 2023Urethane Innovation of the Year Award

On August 10, 2023, the American Chemistry Council’s Center for the Polyurethane Industry (CPI) announced that in addition to WANNATE® 9131FC from Wanhua Chemical, Sika’s SikaForce®-840
L07 is also a finalist for the 2023 Polyurethane Innovation Award.

SikaForce®-840 from Sika
L07: This is the next generation of “design solidification” technology. SikaForce®-840
L07 is a flexible structural two-component polyurethane adhesive that cures at room temperature. It is designed for bonding composite or coated metal parts and has stable performance over a wide temperature range. The adhesive is characterized by fast curing speed and high strength. When uncured, it has very good sag resistance and compression properties. SikaForce®-840
L07 is suitable for structural elastic bonding of composite materials (e.g. CFRP, GFRP) or coated metals in transportation and general industry.
