# Polycarbonate diol-based Polyurethanes: Durable Solutions for Oil & Mining

Pipelines in the oil and mining sectors are exposed to **abrasive materials, chemicals, and extreme environmental stress**, making durability a key challenge. Traditional materials like steel or standard plastics often fail prematurely due to **wear, corrosion, and chemical attack**, resulting in high maintenance costs and operational downtime.

Polycarbonate diol-based Polyurethane prepolymers (PCD-PUs) offer a superior solution. Compared to polyether or polyester-based alternatives, PC-PUs deliver **enhanced abrasion resistance, hydrolytic stability, and chemical durability**, while maintaining excellent mechanical strength. These properties make them ideal for **internal linings, external coatings, and vibration-damping components** in high-wear environments.

Formulated with **polycarbonate diols and isocyanates**, PC-PUs provide better compatibility and structural integrity, producing **uniform elastomers with long-lasting performance**. Mechanical testing confirms their advantages: PCD-PUs show up to 4 times the tensile strength.

UBE’s solutions, **ETERNACOLL® polycarbonate diols** and **ETERNATHANE® prepolymers,** are specifically developed to meet the harsh demands of oil and mining operations. They help **extend service life, reduce failures**, and support more **cost-effective maintenance strategies**.

To explore how PCD-PUs can improve your polyurethane systems in oil and mining applications, fill out the form and download the complete document with technical insights and performance data.

In this downloadable, we'll tell you about:

###### 📝 The challenges faced by polyurethane systems in **oil and mining environments**.
