allnex Switches to Mass Balanced, Bio-Based Penta for Alkyds in EMEA
FRANKFURT, Germany - Resins supplier allnex recently announced that as part of its Environmental Sustainability Governance Program, the Liquid Resins & Additives (LRA) business line will switch to the use of partially, mass balanced, bio-based pentaerythritol in all alkyds produced at the company’s European sites. The transition will take place in the second quarter of this year.
This deliberate decision will increase the bio-content of waterborne and solventborne alkyds sold under the allnex RESYDROL®, SETAL®, SETAQUA® brand names by 25%, which reflects the company's commitment to sustainable development. This additional bio-content will increase the relatively high bio-content of alkyds, and the total bio-content of some products will exceed 60%.
