The BioForming® process converts plant-derived feedstocks into a BioFormate® product that is analogous to petroleum reformate. Similarly to conventional petroleum reformate, Virent’s Bioreformate product can be used as a gasoline blendstock or processed to high purity aromatic chemicals using conventional aromatics processing technology. Virent’s products are indistinguishable from the petrochemical analogs, except for C-14 dating for bio-content. Using conventional aromatics processing Virent has produced renewable paraxylene, mixed xylenes, toluene, and benzene.

Clin-Cat is a range of industrial cationic corn starches manufactured by ADM. They are specifically prepared to produce superior starches for the internal sizing of paper. This range consists of products that can be used for ASA-size emulsification and can improve the retention of fillers such as titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, and clay.

Arnitel TPC, a thermoplastic polyester elastomer, is used as a lighter, smarter, greener material alternative to conventional rubbers. Because of its excellent characteristics, it offers design engineers exceptional flexibility—giving them the freedom to implement the most innovative product concepts.  Arnitel has a broad range of hardnesses, making it capable to replace rubbers, metals, leather and other thermoplastics. This thermoplastic elastomer delivers superior chemical resistance, along with heat and wear resistance, plus the ability to be recycled.

Santicizer® Plasticizers offer all the benefits of high solvating plasticizers including compatibility in multiple polymer systems such as Polysulfide, PVC and Polyurethane. Because of their high efficiency, less energy is required to fuse PVC formulations. These materials are well suited for plastisol applications, but can easily be used in almost any polymer system that requires additional flexibility and softness.

EthaFoam® is a resilient closed-cell foam construction. with outstanding recovery characteristics and ideal cushioning protection against impact. EthaFoam® protects products from a few pounds to hundreds. Dynamic cushioning performance in end caps, corner pads and load separators. EthaFoam® helps in blocking and bracing of delicate product. It is for products requiring a shock-absorbing, vibration dampening, insulation barrier and/or buoyancy component.
