International. Clariant has signed an agreement for a new partnership with Neste, a global supplier of sustainable renewable diesel and an expert in the delivery of renewable chemical solutions. By using Neste's renewable hydrocarbons in its product development, Clariant increases the number of products in its portfolio that are derived from renewable raw materials. As a result, sustainable solutions become more accessible to a variety of industries, including adhesives, plastics and coatings.
Christian Kohlpaintner, member of Clariant's Executive Committee, commented: "Sustainability is one of Clariant's five strategic pillars. This new partnership with Neste is an important milestone in providing a sustainable future for Clariant and its customers. "It is an exemplary cooperation because it provides a competitive advantage for our customers while generating a sustainable impact throughout the value chain."
Clariant's Licocene performance polymers and waxes are already valued by the adhesives, plastics and coatings industry for their ability to deliver superior sustainability and performance in use. Through the partnership with Neste, Clariant can offer sustainable polyolefin solutions derived from renewable hydrocarbons.
The raw materials, C2/C3 monomers, are derived from Neste's renewable hydrocarbons produced from 100% renewable feedstock that originates from waste and waste raw materials, such as used cooking oil and renewable vegetable oils. These C2 and C3 monomers provide direct replacements for those currently used by Clariant to create advanced polyolefin solutions for a wide range of applications.
