Impending regulatory changes announced by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) will favorably position Hexion's Versatic Acid 10 as a safer-to-use1 replacement for 2-ethylhexanoic acid (2-EHA).

Key Points: 
  • Impending regulatory changes announced by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) will favorably position Hexion's Versatic Acid 10 as a safer-to-use1 replacement for 2-ethylhexanoic acid (2-EHA).
  • Versatic Acid 10, and other Versatics derivatives, are excellent building blocks that enable the production of high-performance emulsions, high solids and waterborne resins.
  • They also have the more sustainable attribute of enabling the production of paints and coatings with lower volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions than before.
  • The industry’s move toward alternative products, such as Versatic Acid 10, follows the reclassification of 2-EHA and most of its salts as Reprotoxic Category 1B by the Risk Assessment Committee of ECHA beginning in November 2023.

BOSTON and QUAKENBRÜCK, Germany, Feb. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bioweg, a producer of highly functional and customizable bio-based materials, and Ginkgo Bioworks (NYSE: DNA), which is building the leading platform for cell programming and biosecurity, today announced a collaboration to optimize the production of bacterial cellulose and to produce novel variants of cellulose with improved performance to serve a variety of end markets.

Key Points: 
  • Bioweg's current products based on biodegradable bacterial cellulose have already been tested and implemented by companies as an effective substitute for widely used synthetic polymers such as acrylates, polyethylene, and polystyrene.
  • Synthetic polymers often appear as microbeads (micropowders) and texturants (Rheology modifiers) in products throughout the cosmetics, homecare, personal care, agricultural coatings and other industries, which contribute to microplastic pollution in surface waters worldwide.
  • "We believe Ginkgo's strain engineering and screening capabilities can enable us to deliver our biobased solutions at scale and competitive pricing."
  • "Bioweg is addressing a significant need in the marketplace to develop and produce a new generation of clean alternatives to synthetic polymers," said Ena Cratsenburg, Chief Business Officer at Ginkgo Bioworks.
