biobutanol-chemical


Our key commercial product will be biobutanol (n-Butanol) and potential downstream derivatives. Our bio-based butanol offers a renewable alternative to petro-based chemical-grade butanol - a $10 billion global market. Butanol is a key building block chemical in the $85 billion coatings, adhesives and inks market and an intermediate in the $700 billion global polymers market. Butyl acrylates are widely used as critical polymers in the production of latex paints, lacquers, enamels, automotive coatings and industrial coatings. Butyl acetates and ethers are used as solvents in vinyl, cellulosic, acrylics, urethanes and epoxy coatings.
