OQ Chemicals launches biobased isononanoic acid

Type of post: NEWS IN BRIEF.

OQ Chemicals has launched “OxBalance Isononanoic Acid”, the world’s first commercially available isononanoic acid that is produced from both bio-based and circular feedstocks, and is ISCC PLUS certified. The new product has a bio-based content of over 70 percent, providing manufacturers with a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional isononanoic acid. To meet the growing demand for carboxylic acids, OQ Chemicals has recently invested in a capacity expansion project in Germany. Isononanoic acid is widely used in the production of various industrial and consumer goods, such as energy-efficient lubricants, plasticizers, and surfactants. The new OxBalance product line uses the mass balance concept to trace renewable feedstocks in chemical production processes and allocate them to products.
