Clariant IGL Specialty Chemicals Private Limited (CISC) brought its portfolio of renewable-based ethylene oxide derivatives to ChemExpo India 2023 for the first time. CISC showed its VITA range of 100% bio-based surfactants and ethoxylated derivatives supporting carbon footprint reduction in multiple market segments.
CISC was born in July 2021 as a joint venture and combines IGL’s renewable bio-ethylene oxide derivatives business, which includes a multipurpose production facility including an alkoxylation plant located in Kashipur, Uttarakhand (India) with Clariant’s local Care Chemicals business in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal.
One of the prominent advantages is its “Closer to Customers” manufacturing base at Kashipur in Uttarakhand region. This multipurpose production facility offers an alkoxylation plant for renewable bio ethylene oxide. CISC is a leading supplier of such “green” ethylene oxide derivatives in India. It offers a fully segregated facility for the 100% bio-based, carbon-reducing Vita Range. Plus, it also has an on-site R&D facility to support customers with innovative, sustainable, and tailor-made solutions.
“Clariant IGL Specialty Chemicals is one of the established players for ethylene oxide derivatives in India and provides products on a renewable basis. By working closely together and leveraging our unique capabilities, we see opportunities for profitable growth, with our customers, based on strong local organic demand as well as the global megatrend for renewable products. Globally, we can benefit from leveraging the “green” ethylene oxide derivatives across other markets, where demand for such renewable ingredients is also on the up,” said US Bhartia, chairman, Clariant IGL Specialty Chemicals.
Products in the newly launched Vita range of surfactants and polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are 100% bio-based, carbon-reducing, fully segregated, and have an RCI (Renewable Carbon Index) of >95%. This will support customers in reducing their carbon footprint & Scope 3 emissions. The CISC facility will cater to the Indian market but will also serve as a major export hub for the Vita range.
