REACH compliant (not a SVHC), safe for humans and environment throughout its entire life cycle; Promotes plastic foams recyclability; No odors nor VOCs generated; Weight reduction and insulation; Faster foam production cycles and formulations optimization; Safer working conditions and simpler logistics.
Evaluated Alternative CTO – Crude tall oil Crude tall oil (CTO) by Stora Enso is a special source of bio-based products. It is extracted from Nordic Softwood – a natural, renewable resource from our sustainably managed North European forests – during the kraft pulping process. This valuable ingredient of the wood is a mixture of fatty acids, rosin and other neutral compounds. The crude tall oil can be further refined to different fractions like fatty acids, rosins and sterols. These intermediates can be used in a wide variety of applications and products across various industrial and consumer markets. In addition, CTO can be refined and turned into biofuels replacing fossil-based fuels.
Evaluated Alternative SCHUTZENCIDE-MT Amine based Biocide SCHUTZENCIDE-MT is Quaternary compound free, aldehyde free biocidal amine having broad spectrum efficacy against bacteria, viruses & fungal attack
Evaluated Alternative Absorbzio Natural Plus - Odor neutralizer Absorbzio is a highly effective odor neutralizer base on the zinc ricinoleate (present in nature, it is the zinc salt of ricinoleic acid, a main fatty acid found in castor oil) associated with fresh and long lasting fragrances. Absorbzio is plant derived, non-toxic, and readily biodegradable. It meets Safer Choice criteria and can be found on CleanGredients.
Evaluated Alternative Safe, Natural & Sustainable Fragrances SOZIO offers safe, natural and sustainable fragrances. These fragrances meet Safer Choice criteria. These fragrances can be used in several markets and type of products such as personal care, home fragrance, household and I&I products.
Evaluated Alternative Cellulose Powder FineCell’s Cellulose Powder is a micro-sized cellulose fiber made from plant fibers. It's a sustainable reinforcement for making lighter and more sustainable thermoplastic composites for a wide range of applications (e.g. automotive interiors, consumer goods).
Evaluated Alternative Isocyanates Novomer produces and develops Biocyanate™ Isocyanates through a novel route that does not require the use of the environmentally dangerous chemical phosgene. These plant-based renewable isocyanates are organic compounds that contain at least one isocyanate group, a functional group with the formula R-N=C=O.
Evaluated Alternative Dry Adhesive Technology ShearGrip® RS102 is a nanofiber-based dry adhesive coated on a release-treated non-woven carrier for transfer applications. After transferring to an appropriate face stock, the dry adhesive shows excellent adhesion to many surfaces in shear, and can be easily applied, adjusted, and repositioned with long adhesion lifetime and clean, damage-free removal. Dry adhesive transfers well to many face stocks, particularly finished paper and polyester, with low pressure lamination at ambient temperature. ShearGrip® is suitable for a wide range of market segments including consumer/industrial goods, film/label, packaging, transportation and electronics.
Evaluated Alternative Biodegradable Loose Fill – FARMfill FARMfill is a loose fill that alternates the traditional loose fill produced from expanded polystyrene. This product is made completely from corn and contains no petroleum based ingredients.
