Efficient Production of High-Performing Specialty Chemicals Through Metathesis Catalysis

Olefin metathesis catalyst that converts renewable, natural oils into various products. Natural oil metathesis is a technology that transforms plant oils into high-performing, environmentally friendly specialty chemicals. This process uses a highly efficient, selective metathesis catalyst to derive value-added speacilty chemicals and olefins from natural oils. Compared to petrochemicals, this process reduces source pollution, energy consumption, production costs, and capital expenditures. The manufacturing process is low-pressure and low-temperature and can utilize virtually ant plant oil. Their biorefinery products are between 70% and 100% bio-based. These products include oil services, personal care, cleaning ingredients, paints, and coatings.
