Under the terms of their joint development agreement, Lanxess and BioAmber are devloping a portfolio of renewable succinic-based plasticizers than can exceed the performance of phthlates at competitive price.
Lanxess is a global leader in phthalate-free plasticizers, and has plasticizer manufacturing expertise and capacity. BioAmber produces and sells biobased succinic acid in a 3,000 MT capacity plant in France and expects to bring on a additional 17,000 MT of succinic acid capacity in 2013, in Sarnia, Canada, located on a site within Lanxess’ Bio-industrial Park.
BioAmber and Lanxess have been working together for over 2 years assessing the performance and opportunities of succinate based esters in the plasticizer market. Based on the results seen to date, Lanxess and BioAmber believe that succinic acid based plasticizers can deliver the sustainability, performance and safety that the global plasticizer market is seeking.
Samples are now available and the companies expect to begin.
