Bio-based Dimethyl Fumarate (DMFum)

Dimethyl fumarate (DMFum) is a specialty chemical widely used in pharmaceuticals (notably in multiple sclerosis drugs), polymer additives, agriculture (fungicides), and coatings. Traditionally synthesized by esterifying fumaric acid, which itself is made via...

Renewable Epichlorohydrin (RECH)

Epichlorohydrin (ECH) is a crucial intermediate in the production of epoxy resins, elastomers, water treatment chemicals, and coatings. Traditionally produced from petroleum-based propylene via chlorination and oxidation, the process is energy-intensive and generates...

Bio-based Acrylonitrile

Acrylonitrile is a vital intermediate used in the production of acrylic fibers, ABS plastics, synthetic rubber (NBR), and carbon fiber precursors. Conventionally made from propylene and ammonia through the Sohio process, it emits substantial CO₂ and relies heavily on...

Bio-based Sebacic Acid

Sebacic acid (C10 dicarboxylic acid) is widely used in the production of nylon-6,10, plasticizers, lubricants, cosmetics, and polyesters. Conventionally, it is produced from castor oil, making it one of the few long-chain dicarboxylic acids already derived from a...

Renewable Diethyl Ether (DEE)

Diethyl ether (DEE) is a highly volatile, low-viscosity solvent widely used in laboratory settings, pharmaceuticals, fuel blends (especially as a cetane enhancer), and chemical synthesis. Conventionally produced from petroleum-derived ethanol or ethylene, DEE can now...

Bio-based Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)

Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is a key monomer used in the production of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA or acrylic glass), coatings, adhesives, paints, and medical devices. Traditionally synthesized from acetone, hydrogen cyanide, and methanol (ACH process) or via...
