Enabling sustainable materials and innovative applications
BIOSUCCINIUM® is a 100% bio-based succinic acid, IFSCC certified, produced from renewable plant-based feedstocks through a proprietary low-pH yeast fermentation process. This biotechnology approach delivers a high-purity product (>99.5%) with no by-products, minimal impurities, and an improved environmental footprint compared to fossil-based alternatives such as adipic acid or petro-succinic acid.
Why Choose BIOSUCCINIUM®?
As industries face growing pressure to reduce carbon emissions and adopt circular solutions, BIOSUCCINIUM® offers a proven way forward. It enables the development of sustainable materials while maintaining performance standards. USDA-certified as 100% biobased, BIOSUCCINIUM® helps manufacturers reduce reliance on fossil resources and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Applications Across Industries
BIOSUCCINIUM® opens new opportunities for bio-based innovation in multiple markets:
- Polyurethanes: Used as a green di-acid in polyester polyols, improving the environmental footprint of coatings, adhesives, elastomers, and foams.
- Polybutylene Succinate (PBS): Enables production of biodegradable polymers for packaging, agricultural films, and disposable items.
- Resins and Coatings: Replaces fossil-based acids in alkyd, polyester, and composite resins, reducing carbon footprint and supporting bio-based formulations.
- Plasticizers and Solvents: Provides a safer, non-phthalate alternative for flexible materials and specialty chemicals.
- Other Uses: Pharmaceuticals, food flavors, lubricants, and polymer modification.
