Huntsman is busy churning out eco-friendly chemicals... maybe to make
the company more attractive to other "potential" buyers after being
dumped by Hexion?
(Ok I admit I've been busy watching reruns of the recent "The Bachelor" so Huntsman folks, pls. don't sue me LOL!)
Last month, Huntsman launched three new products: a bio-based glycerine carbonate, an enzyme-based textile bleaching solution in partnership with Genencor, and a new repellent and soil release finishes for the textile industry.
Huntsman's JEFFSOL Glycerine Carbonate is a bio-based specialty chemical useful as a reactive intermediate and as a solvent. It can be polymerized or reacted with isocyanates or acrylates for applications in coatings, adhesives and lubricants. The company says it is also attractive for personal care applications.
Huntsman's Gentle Power Bleach peroxide bleach system uses an innovative enzyme from Genencor (according to them), which allows for low temperature bleaching of textiles at 65°C and at a neutral pH range. They said savings in water and energy consumption of up to 40% are possible with the bleach.
As for the textile finish, Huntsman said the technology is a DuPont Capstone products which are now being sold by Huntsman under the designation OLEOPHOBOL® CP. The products are based on short-chain molecules that cannot break down to PFOA in the environment.
