BASF has completed the transition to bio-based ethyl acrylate (EA) for its Rheovis range manufactured at its Ludwigshafen and Bradford sites. Now, the Rheovis range has a 14C-traceable biogenic content of up to 35% according to the ASTM D6866-18 analytical standard and a reduced product carbon footprint (PCF1) of up to 30% compared to versions based on fossil feedstock.
The chemical composition and technical specifications of the new bio-based products remain unchanged.
“This feedstock switch underlines BASF Additives’ commitment to enable formulators to complete their green transition while ensuring supply reliability and efficiency,” said Sylvain Pascal Huguenard, VP of global business management for additives, BASF. “BASF’s optimized process and Verbund concept are key levers to ensure further reduction of our Product Carbon Footprint (PCF).”
“Built on BASF’s commitment to sustainable solutions, our upgraded bio-based Rheovis products will support the development of more sustainable products,” Joachim Burger, head of sales, additives EMEA for BASF, added.
