Adipic Acid from Biobased Feedstocks

Adipic acid is a key dicarboxylic acid used in the production of nylon-6,6, polyurethanes, plasticizers, and performance coatings. Conventionally synthesized from petro-derived benzene through nitric acid oxidation, it is associated with significant greenhouse gas...

Bio-based Adiponitrile (ADN)

Adiponitrile (ADN) is a critical intermediate for producing hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) and subsequently nylon-6,6, which is widely used in automotive parts, fibers, textiles, and engineering plastics. Traditionally produced via the electrohydrodimerization of...

Cellulose Acetate

Cellulose acetate is a semi-synthetic polymer derived from cellulose, a natural polymer found in wood, cotton, and agricultural residues. It’s widely used in cigarette filters, textiles (acetate fibers), eyeglass frames, films, membranes, and biodegradable plastics....

Renewable 1,4-Butanediol (BDO)

1,4-Butanediol (BDO) is a key platform chemical used in producing polyurethanes, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), elastic fibers, solvents, and coatings. Conventionally made from acetylene, butane, or formaldehyde, its production is fossil-fuel intensive and emits...

Biobased Hexamethylenediamine (HMDA)

Hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) is a key monomer in the production of nylon-6,6, polyurethane resins, coatings, and adhesives. Traditionally derived from petroleum-based adiponitrile, HMDA production is energy-intensive and reliant on toxic intermediates like hydrogen...

Renewable Ethyl Lactate

Ethyl lactate is a biodegradable solvent widely used in coatings, cleaning products, electronics manufacturing, and pharmaceutical applications. Known for its low toxicity and excellent solvency, it serves as a sustainable alternative to petrochemical solvents like...
