Lygos is partnering with Flexible Solutions to advance biobased aspartic acid production technology


Type of post: NEWS IN BRIEF.

Lygos has announced a strategic investment from Flexible Solutions and its subsidiary NanoChem Solutions (NCS) to advance Lygos biobased aspartic acid (Bio-Aspartic™ Acid) production technology.

NCS specializes in biodegradable, water-soluble products utilizing thermal polyaspartate (TPA) polymers. Lygos’ biobased aspartic acid can be used to produce TPA, which is a safe and sustainable alternative to polyacrylic acid (PAC). The addition of this Lygos sustainable chemical will further improve the performance of NCS biodegradable products and reduce the overall impact on the environment. PAC is a key ingredient for a broad set of industrial agriculture, water treatment and chemical applications. Every year, millions of kilograms of PAC are produced with a petrochemical process. Lygos aims to replace this toxic process by converting sustainable sugars into biobased aspartic acid and other high-value specialty chemicals.
