Evaluated Alternative Oleris® - biobased n-Heptanoic Acid Oleris® n-Heptanoic acid is a bio-based, seven-carbon linear chain saturated fatty acid from a renewable castor oil source. Suitable for use in innovative sustainable design.
Evaluated Alternative Alternative to 2- ethylhexanoic acid in a range of applications Versatic™ Acid 10, a hazardless product, can replace 2-ethylhexanoic acid for use in paints, polyurethane foams, PVC plastics and more. More generally, it can be used as such, as an intermediate for organic derivatives, as a metallic salt and as an ammonium salt.
Request Non-PFAS Dielectric Fluid for 2-phase Data Centers Immersion Cooling Hi, we are looking for a dielectric (6kV/mm) fluid non-PFAS that boils around 60°C. Environmental and global impacts are key.
Evaluated Alternative CTO – Crude tall oil Crude tall oil (CTO) by Stora Enso is a special source of bio-based products. It is extracted from Nordic Softwood – a natural, renewable resource from our sustainably managed North European forests – during the kraft pulping process. This valuable ingredient of the wood is a mixture of fatty acids, rosin and other neutral compounds. The crude tall oil can be further refined to different fractions like fatty acids, rosins and sterols. These intermediates can be used in a wide variety of applications and products across various industrial and consumer markets. In addition, CTO can be refined and turned into biofuels replacing fossil-based fuels.
Evaluated Alternative NatSurFact All Natural BioSurfactant NatSurFact™ is a novel, sulfate- and phosphate-free line of biosurfactants that outperforms petroleum-based conventional surfactants in a variety of commercial applications. All natural, with low eco-toxicity, low irritation, and readily biodegradable, NatSurFact™ is based on biosynthesized rhamnolipids. With orders of magnitude lower critical micelle concentrations than industry standard ingredients, NatSurFact™ is a more cost-effective ingredient for industries ranging from personal care and household cleaners to agriculture and manufacturing.
Evaluated Alternative Poly(propiolactone) This is a high molecular weight (HMW) biodegradable polymer with attractive mechanical and physical properties that make it suitable for packaging and other thermoplastic applications. This aliphatic polyester is stable, easily transportable and cost-competitive.
Evaluated Alternative Glacial Acrylic Acid Bio replacement for propylene-based glacial acrylic acid for polymers, acrylates, resins, plastics, fibers, paints, coatings, adhesives, elastomers and others.
Evaluated Alternative Bio-based 5-HMF as formaldehyde substitute in UF, MF and PF resins Bio-based 5-HMF has the potential as economically and ecologically interesting formaldehyde substitute in UF, MF and PF resins
