Cross-linkable CO2-PETs have the potential to considerably extend the product portfolio of CO2-polyols. The Climate-KIC innovation project ‘Dream Products’ has successfully been taking first decisive steps towards the production of cross-linkable PETs at 50 kg scale. To make these compounds real ‘drop-in solutions’, a matrix of material properties and specifications of existing products has yet to be met which is tackled in this project.
