Furan-derived compounds and their use in epoxy coatings (RFT-775)
Invention Summary
Diol compounds derived from furan, along with their epoxy-functional derivatives, can be synthesized and used either individually or in mixtures to create cured coatings. Coatings made from these compounds demonstrate a favorable balance of physical and mechanical properties. Additionally, these coatings are primarily biobased, making them suitable alternatives to petrochemical products.
