BASF plan partnership with Novozymes and Cargill for production of 3-HP

BASF has planned for existence of R&D collaboration with Novozymes and Cargill in which it entered in August 2012 for development of a bio-based process. Production of 3-hydroxypropionic and acrylic acid from raw materials which are renewable and degradable is the main objective of the company’s collaboration. BASF possesses sustainable efficient for production and downstream processing.  By joining collaboration actually for development of products, the company has set an objective of meeting the market demands and requirement of the society. Both the companies collaborated together on 2008 and will continue the project for commercialization of 3HP and derivatives.

The company is looking for a new commercialization partner too nowadays. Jack Staloch, the Vice President of R & D in Cargill says that the company is working with Novozymes continuously and it focuses upon the production of sustainable options of chemicals based upon fossils. This extensive R&D partnership has attained its technical and business targets as per the goal planned. Accomplishment of the project regarding the production of 3-HP in pilot scale has took place in 2013. The company made an announcement of successful conversion of 3-HP to glacial acrylic acid and superabsorbent polymers in 2014. Vice President of Novozyme’s Business Creation and acquisition states that development of technology and achievements are extraordinary. Acrylic acid produced in this way is derived from crude oil through refining.

Wood Fiber Research to work for development of cost effective and durable carbon fibers

During the last years, lightweighting has become a dominant theme in automotive and aerospace engineering. The lightweighting strategy is being developed with OEMs which will offer them developed fuel economy. The most important thing to notice in this series is that the fuel economy will not expect any kind of compromise with comfort and safety as well as going towards the utilization of advance material such as fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials and aluminum materials. Processing of carbon fiber is not simple as well as really expensive. Moreover, glass fibers are comparatively reasonable but not light weighted. According to researchers, it will be better to research about the fibers which are derived from cotton, word, hemp and flax. Being affordable same like glass fibers, these fibers are better for their lower density.

A surprising thing is that on incineration, these products generate extra energy without any residues remained. But these are not constant and durable as carbon fibers. According to Head of the application center for Wood Fiber Research, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hans-Josef Endres, on the basis of application, combination of carbon with a variety of bio-based textile fibers is being carried out. The development team focuses upon cost effective and durable deals along with acoustic properties. 

Bayer MaterialScience represented innovative milestones for development of polyurethanes

Bayer MaterialScience introduced new milestones in the development of polyurethanes during the European Coatings Show 2015 in Numerberg. The company is underscoring worldwide leadership in raw materials polyurethane for eco friendly coatings and adhesives as well as for good performance. Also, the company highlighted requirement of this product for customers.

According to the statement of a member of the executive committee of the company, Daniel Meyer, the milestones introduced during the event also involve the global premier of a bio-based derivative of PDI for hardening the adhesives and coatings.

Bayer MaterialScience has an intention of bringing the first product based upon PDI in April, 2015. The commercial production of this product will be followed in 2016 with the expectation of about 20K metric tons per annum. The manufacturing of these products will be carried out with the help of the gas phase technology as it is highly energy efficient. The demand of renewable raw materials based products is going higher day by day. According to Bayer MaterialScience, PDI is nothing but a new isocyanate in which 70 percent carbon content belongs to biomass without any generation of direct competition for food manufacturing. For evaluation of some more uses for PDI based raw materials, a comprehensive technology foundation is being worked upon.
