Type of post: NEWS IN BRIEF.

NSM, a manufacturer of chemical technologies and distributor of specialty chemicals, will produce PDDA and other derivatives in the USA and will market them in North America and Europe. Through this agreement, NAGASE will be the first to derivatize Pyran’s sustainable PDO for use in UV-cured formulations from coatings to 3D printing. Pyran is a fast-growing company that produces innovative 5-carbon products from renewable resources.

Pyran uses renewable feedstocks from crop resources, such as corn cobs, to make 1,5-pentanediol (PDO). This essential material enhances the performance of everyday products, such as paints, coatings, adhesives and more. The company’s renewable 5-carbon products replace expensive, petroleum-based chemicals, which are limited in supply. In addition to its recent partnership with NAGASE, Pyran is actively moving to the next level of commercialization by scaling production near Houston (Texas, USA) and producing tons of product to meet qualification requirements and increased customer demand.
