The scarcity of #FossilResources and the corresponding environmental concerns makes that modern societies must find new safe and sustainable processes to manufacture #Molecules and #Materials already well established in the worldwide market. For these reasons Europe has decided to face a change towards more sustainable productive models. On this framework and during the last years a wide range of valuable chemicals have been produced from #Biomass resources.

The last years a wide range of valuable chemicals have been produced from biomass resources the vipriskar project that we coordinate is focused on the production of isosory bismethyl carbonate abmc the abn c it comes from iso survive which is obtained from glucose and starts and potentially from cellulose ibm c is a non-toxic and biodegradable versatile
Bioproduct that competes with relevant petroleum derivatives it can replace the bisphenol a in polycarbonates and dissociates in polyurethanes providing safer and less toxic products vipriskar has validated a process for the production of ibmc in a relevant industrial environment in tecnalia we have developed a very rose process for manufacturing ecoservice
Missed medical carbonite we have used is a survive or different acid qualities a specific basic catalyst and the methylcarbonate that is used both as a solvent as a reactant we have obtaining purities of products running from 90 to 99 laboratory results have been transfers to the company before plastic for pilot scaling here at b4 plastics we have developed
The design and construction of a pilot plant for ibm c production a protocol has been optimized for this process and more than 100 kilograms of this monomer has been produced the results of the pilot runs have given us many insights that are important for modeling and upscaling the process further towards industrial scale vipriskar demonstrates the usefulness of
The polymers derived thereof in two high-volume market sectors industrial coatings with the participation of allnex and aep polymers in collaboration with geico and adhesives where joat collaborates with technelia and laetat in the development of more sustainable products in both sectors toxic compounds as bisphenol a and dissociates are intended to be avoided
Ap polymers works in collaboration with geiker to explore new applications for ibm c in coatings our goal is to develop isocyanate-free polyurethane intermediates and oligocarbonates for polyurethane dispersions to be used in performant and sustainable coatings in the adhesive sector new polycarbonates have been obtained for hot melt adhesives as well as free
Isocyanate adhesives in aqueous microemulsion for polyurethane dispersions for these ambitious purposes a multidisciplinary and complementary european team has been created it involves three top-level european research institutes working together with seven top industries in the framework of the sustainable chemistry vipriskar contributes to implement a new
Non-petroleum-based model of society this innovative initiative will boost bioeconomy in key sectors you
