A New Generation of Chemicals
Sustainable materials from plant-based and renewable feedstocks
Our commodity chemicals replace fossil fuel based products with equivalent product functionality and performance, but with superior sustainability metrics. Some of our chemicals even surpass the performance of fossil fuel based equivalents currently on the market, such as our high purity glacial acrylic acid.
Cost competitively manufacturing commodity chemicals and polymers
Our technology provides environmental benefits without the typical cost premium associated with plant-based alternatives. These benefits are enabled by the effectiveness of our proprietary catalyst, efficient processing, near zero waste, and use of CO from waste streams of other processes, biomass via gasification, or other readily available starting materials.
Our Family of Sustainable Chemical Products
Acrylic Acid
Novomer has developed a cost-competitive, sustainable route to make acrylic acid and acrylate esters.
Polypropiolactone
Polypropiolactone (PPL) is a biodegradable polymer with attractive mechanical and physical properties suitable for packaging and thermoplastic applications.
Polyols
SustainolTM polyols play a key role in the production of polyurethane products.
Future Products
Isocyanates
BiocyanateTM, Novomer’s family of isocyanates, can be used in a diverse set of applications, primarily in the production of polyurethane products.
Succinic Anhydride and Succinic Acid
Succinic anhydride can be used in a variety of applications such as butanediol, polyurethane, tetrahydrofuran, and more. Succinic acid can be used to make a variety of polymers.
