Leading specialty chemicals innovator Perstorp has launched new grades for two base polyols that are now available with 100% renewable, mass-balanced carbon content.

When including the biogenic CO2 uptake from the renewable raw materials, the products will have a negative carbon footprint at the Perstorp gate.

Based on a traceable mass-balance concept, Neeture N100 (neopentyl glycol) and Evyron T100 (trimethylolpropane) are designed to reduce the carbon footprint throughout the value chain and to support the sustainable sourcing of renewable and recycled raw materials.

This portfolio expansion reinforces the company’s position as a leading supplier of low carbon footprint chemicals.

‘’As businesses and end-consumers wish to reduce their carbon footprint, the demand for chemical products based on sustainable raw materials increases continuously’’, says Jenny Klevås, Global Marketing Director at Perstorp. ‘’Since nearly all manufactured goods rely on chemical products, we have the opportunity to make a great positive impact and it makes us proud to add two products to our portfolio that can help customers meet their CO2 targets and produce more sustainable products.’’

Neeture and Evyron, along with all Perstorp’s Pro-Environment products are certified according to the sustainability certification system ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification).

Perstorp applies a mass balance with physical and chemical traceability which means that no credit transfer is applied and that all the different raw materials needed to produce the products are used.

Anna Berggren, Vice President Sustainability at Perstorp, adds: “Being able to offer two of our most popular Pro-Environment products, Neeture and Evyron, in 100% shifted grades brings us one step closer toward breaking fossil dependence and our ambition of becoming Finite Material Neutral. We continuously develop our supply of renewable and recycled raw materials which enables us to find solutions that reduce environmental impact as well as meet the market’s demand.’’
