Partially Biobased Styrene-Butadiene Copolymers Launched
Ineos Styrolution’s Styrolux Eco and K-Resin Eco are available with a renewable styrene monomer content of 60%.
Two new families of styrene-butadiene copolymer (SBC) resins which are based on partially biobased feedstocks have been launched by Produced at the company’s Altamira, Mexico, site, Styrolux Eco and K-Resin Eco are based on a mass balance ISCC Plus certified approach.
Both materials are available with a renewable styrene monomer content of 60%, leading to a substantial carbon footprint reduction when compared to their fossil-based counterparts--Styrolux and K-Resin. Moreover, these transparent SBCs are said to have identical properties and the same high quality and performance as Styrolux and K-Resin, thus enabling a direct replacement for customers seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and produce environmentally conscious products. Such products include food packaging, medical devices, durable household goods, and construction materials.
