peak results in 2021. Foreseeing what 2022 would look like, we predicted a slowdown from the middle of the year.” However, Russia’s aggression intensified the challenge with spikes in gas prices at levels not seen previously. It also cut the company off from its supply of propylene in Ukraine. “This was the first and most challenging problem of last year. Within a month, we constructed an alternative system for securing the Oxoplast Business Unit in basic raw material and implemented a mechanism for short-term planning and operation that is flexible and adapted to the conditions we face,” Budner says. The Pro-Environment Oxo portfolio of products
from Sweden’s Perstorp includes plasticisers, polyols, acids, and alcohols made from mass balanced renewable or recycled raw materials. The company’s Pro-Environment products and mass balance method, as well as its greenhouse gas calculations, are ISCC Plus certified. The company’s portfolio of plasticisers based on
ISCC Plus certified renewable raw materials include its Pevalen Pro non-phthalate polyol ester material, which was launched in 2014 and is based on 8% or 36% renewable carbon content, and its Emoltene
100 Pro C10 general-purpose grade with 14% renewable carbon content produced using biogas and launched in 2020. Last year Perstorp announced the development
of a partly bio-based 2-ethylhexanol (2-EH). 2-EH is widely used in the production of plasticisers for flexible vinyl and acrylate applications, according to Magnus Hindsö, business manager for the company’s Pro-Environment Oxo portfolio. The new 2-EH is chemically identical to its fossil-based counterpart but offers the benefit of a reduced carbon footprint and lower CO2
emissions. The
company says there is no trade-off in terms of performance and the grade can be used as a drop-in replacement in existing formulations.
