Pevalen™ Pro 100: Der Innovationssprung von Perstorp bei nachhaltigen phthalatfreien Weichmachern. (Foto: Perstorp)Perstorp, ein führender Innovator im Bereich Spezialchemikalien, hat Pevalen Pro 100 auf den Markt gebracht und damit eine neue Ära in der PVC-Weichmachertechnologie eingeläutet. Die neue Pevalen-Sorte enthält 100% erneuerbaren Kohlenstoff, der auf einer rückverfolgbaren Massenbilanz basiert. Die rückverfolgbare Massenbilanz wendet sowohl die chemische als auch die physikalische Rückverfolgbarkeit der in der Produktion verwendeten erneuerbaren / recycelten Rohstoffe an. Durch die Berücksichtigung der biogenen CO2 -Aufnahme aus seinen erneuerbaren Rohstoffen bietet Pevalen Pro 100 eine Reduzierung des Kohlenstoff-Fußabdrucks des Produkts um etwa 80 % im Vergleich zu seinem fossilen Äquivalent.

SABIC ULTEM HU resins, a highlight at MD&M West 2024, can help ease transition from EtO sterilization

SABIC’s versatile and durable ULTEM™ HU resins are stable across many popular sterilization processes, providing the potential for multiple use options.
