CASE applications
Arkema manufactures specialty polyether polyols for polyurethane CASE applications. These polyols are marketed under the trade names Dianol® and Adiansol®.
These specialty polyols are used to improve thermal stability, chemical stability, adhesion properties, and cross-linkers. Dianol® has been tested in adhesives on various substrates compared to polypropylene glycol polyols: wood, steel, ABS, and polycarbonate.
Our product range includes additives such as coalescing agents, plasticizers (Ensoline®), reactive diluents (Dianol® and Adiansol®), and dispersants (Surfaline® and Ensoline®).

| Product | Type | Benefits |
| Dianol® | Primary Secondary |
Improves adhesion especially on metal. Improves mechanical properties at high temperatures. Provides flexibility and hardness. Gives good chemical and hydrolysis resistance. Gives higher Glass Transition. |
| Adiansol® | Primary Secondary |
Optimizes crosslinking. Improves stability and reactivity of the resins. Gives higher glass transition. Reinforces hydrophobicity. |
Foam applications
Polyurethane, in the form of flexible foam, is used in home furnishings such as furniture and bedding. As a cushioning material for upholstered furniture, polyurethane foam makes furniture more durable, comfortable, and supportive. Our polyols are also used in rigid foam applications.
To support this market, Arkema has developed specialty products marketed under the name Adiansol®.
These low molecular weight triols are used as hardeners, improving the foam stability. These products are based on glycerol and trimethylolpropane.
Our product lines also include a triol-based polyether polyol with cell opening properties. Given its structure, this product can also be used in viscoelastic foam formulations.
