OQ Chemicals Launches ISCC PLUS Certified Isononanoic Acid

March 16, 2023

OQ Chemicals has launched an isononanoic acid that is produced from both bio-based and circular feedstocks, and is ISCC PLUS certified. OxBalance isononanoic acid has a bio-based content of over 70%, providing manufacturers with a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional isononanoic acid. To meet the growing demand for carboxylic acids, OQ Chemicals has recently invested in a capacity expansion project in Germany. Isononanoic acid is widely used in the production of various industrial and consumer goods, such as energy-efficient lubricants, plasticizers, and surfactants.

“The demand for bio-based raw materials is increasing across different industries,” said David Faust, Executive vice president Oxo Performance Chemicals at OQ Chemicals. “Therefore, the introduction of our ISCC PLUS certified OxBalance Isononanoic Acid is a significant milestone in our journey towards sustainable chemical production. With the same specifications and quality, our OxBalance products are a drop-in replacement for traditional carboxylic acids. As consumers demand more environmentally friendly products, we see a great opportunity for our customers to shift from fossil-based to sustainable feedstocks without compromising on quality or performance.”

“At OQ Chemicals, we are proud to be the first to offer bio-based isononanoic acid,” said Oliver Borgmeier, Ph.D., CEO of OQ Chemicals. “For us, this is the logical next step on our journey towards greater sustainability. We aim to make our large-scale production processes more environmentally friendly, efficient, and sustainable while reducing emissions. As we expand our portfolio of bio-based Oxo Performance Chemicals, such as carboxylic acids, we invest in capacity expansions and explore new ways to innovate and improve our chemical production processes.”
