Green Biologics, Acme Hardesty Announce Partnership
Green Biologics’ 100% bio-based esters will be offered to Acme Hardesty’s customers.
Green Biologics Inc. and Acme Hardesty recently announced a joint development agreement by which Green Biologics’ 100% bio-based esters will be offered to Acme Hardesty’s customers.
The companies plan to produce butyl and isopropyl esters using products manufactured at Green Biologics’ renewable chemicals production plant in Little Falls, Minn. As part of the agreement, Green Biologics will provide 100% bio-based n-butanol and 100% bio-based isopropyl alcohol, produced from their renewable acetone, for esterification. Acme Hardesty will source necessary acids and oils to produce the targeted esters, including isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl myristate, butyl palmitate, butyl stearate, butyl oleate, and dibutyl sebacate, with the potential to produce other high-value esters in the future.
