Function tag evidence & scope

Function tags help find candidates. They do not establish suitability for water-based paint or an EcoSafe rating.

Solvent / carrier · Co-monomer; polyurethane building block; THF precursor; solvent.

Supplier-grade/general function only; this does not establish compatibility with a starter formula, lower hazard, an EcoSafe rating or a verified environmental improvement. Function reference ↗

At a glance for your formula

PENPET Green describes Bio-BDO as 1,4-butanediol made by fermentation of renewable raw materials. The supplier lists PBT, elastane, polyurethane and THF-precursor applications and markets it as a replacement for petrochemical BDO. The page specifies at least 99.5% content, with water and colour limits. Renewable origin does not remove the need to match grade specifications, verify traceability and test compatibility with the existing formulation or polymer process.

Grade-specific screening values have not been recorded. Consult the selected supplier’s technical reference.

PENPET Green Bio-BDO; CAS 110-63-4

PENPET Green · Supplier-reported · Awaiting human review

Listed claims

  • Supplier reports:
  • fermentation from renewable inputs
  • replacement of petrochemical BDO.
  • Renewable

Suggested applications

  • PBT engineering plastics
  • Spandex and elastane fibres
  • Polyurethane elastomers, foams and coatings
  • THF manufacture
  • Printing inks and cleaning solvents
  • Polyester co-monomer and plasticiser chemistry

Sustainability highlights

  • Supplier reports fermentative renewable-feedstock production
  • No numeric bio-content or carbon-reduction figure adopted

Performance highlights

4 of 16 defined fields are recorded with a source. This measures structured information currently on this site, not the completeness of every linked PDF. Missing fields remain in the denominator.

Coverage is separate from scientific accuracy, human verification and EcoSafe assessment. Molecular fields may not apply to a grade or family; they are not filled from another material to increase its score.
