LANXESS and Matrìca Partner to Create Sustainable Biocide Preservatives
COLOGNE, Germany — Specialty chemicals company LANXESS and Matrìca, a joint venture between Versalis (Eni) and Novamont, have partnered to produce sustainable biocide preservatives from renewable raw materials. Starting in January 2022, the Matrìca plant at Porto Torres (Sardinia, Italy) will supply LANXESS with bio-based raw materials from vegetable oils that LANXESS will use to manufacture a new series of industrial preservatives, broadening its Preventol range.
With this partnership, both companies aim to significantly advance the production of sustainable preservatives and address the markets’ growing demand. The new Preventol preservatives are designed for consumer products, including paints and coatings.
