Sustainability Toolbox

Resins for Furniture & Flooring, Automotive & Industrial and Printing & Packaging applications – explore our sustainability toolbox.

The key to sustainability is knowing where to start—with our customers. By listening to the motivations, goals and drivers of our customers, we are helping them transform sustainability into concrete solutions and products that are in step with global trends and changing consumer behaviors. From eco-friendly packaging, furniture and flooring to automotive paints, we are your trusted partner for sustainable resins solutions that achieve low CO2 emissions, reduce plastic waste and increase renewables. 

Change needs game changers –
What is your game plan?

 

We offer you many possibilities to combine sustainability and performance and to shape the future sustainably. Whether saving CO2 or producing with bio-based resources, let's talk to see which solutions best support you and your goals.

Boost bio inside - Let nature simply do the talking for you

Bio-based building blocks are based on renewable raw materials. Thus, you can save fossil resources, expand your portfolio and attract new environmentally conscious customers. 

Get to know the Sovermol® product family with up to 100% of renewables, which is designed for industrial applications like wind blades, pipeline coatings, protective coatings, adhesives as well as for flooring applications such as concrete flooring, sports flooring and UV-stable and decorative coatings. Or discover Joncryl® 662 with up to 50% of renewables for water-based printing inks for pre- and post-print corrugated board and kraft paper applications as well as our broad bio-based portfolio for furniture & flooring with our Laromer® UV resins and Joncryl® dispersions and resins.

Reduce CO2 - Put a foot forward by reducing your CO2 footprint

Our chemical production process is fueled by biomass and then allocated to the raw materials for printing inks and coatings (Biomass Balance Approach). Thus, we help you reaching your sustainability targets, expand your portfolio and attract new environmentally conscious customers. 

Get to know our biomass balanced Joncryl® MB series for the printing and packaging industry. Or discover our broad biogas sourced product range for furniture & flooring with our Laromer® UV resins and Joncryl® dispersions and resins.  With this approach up to 100% of the fossil feedstock required for the manufacturing of this product can be replaced in the production site by renewable raw materials.

VOC Reduction - Playing it safe now also comes with great performance

Switching to water-based printing inks and coatings means identical performance and quality as solvent-based systems, plus gives you low (or no) VOCs, guarantees increased safety for both workers and the final goods, as well as helping you reduce your carbon footprint.

Explore our Joncryl® FLX, which represents the market reference in water-based chemistry for printing inks for film & foil. Our water-based resins provide excellent resistance or lamination bond strength. In combination with high resolubility, they provide a similar performance as solvent-based alternatives to flexible packaging printers and converters.

The Joncryl® FLX line is offering the ink formulator an opportunity to formulate water-based printing inks that fulfil many demands of the market for film & foil. The different products all have their own benefits such as No-VOC, no cost for solvent incineration and many more. Together they cover a broad range of properties needed to print film for flexible packaging.
