acquired earlier this by Malaysia’s Petronas, has long been a player in bio-derived plasticisers, launching its first part bio-based Pevalen Pro polyolester plasticiser in 2019. It was introduced as an alternative to established plasticisers such as DINP, DOTP and DINCH. The first products were offered with a 40% bio-content. Last year Perstorp supplemented the Pevalen


Pro plasticiser family with the introduction of Emoltene 100 Pro. This is a dipropylheptyl phtha- late (DPHP) plasticiser produced using biogas rather than fossil-derived natural gas. Using ISCC Plus mass balance principles, the company claims a 40% bio-based content. Earlier this year, the company announced the

growth it will install a new esterification plant to produce speciality plasticisers, mainly trimellitates, at its site in Atlacomulco in Mexico. “Special high-performance plasticisers, with their superior technical performances in electrical and high temperature applications, are a main component for the electrification of cars and transportation,” says Polynt president and CEO Rosario Valido. “Trimellitates represent the most effective family


of products that can satisfy those outstanding performance characteristics.” Swedish speciality chemical group Perstorp,


launch of a bio-based 2-ethylhexanol (2-EH), again based on a mass balance approach. 20-EH is used in the production of a number of speciality prod- ucts, including plasticisers. The company said having a bio-based version of the feedstock available would allow it to further extend its Pro sustainable product lines.
