Perstorp India's New Production Site Achieves ISCC PLUS Certification

-

Perstorp India announces an ISCC PLUS certification at the new Production site Sayakha.

The company is about to introduce the new production site Sayakha, a Greenfield facility in Gujarat, India with the intention of producing Penta, including the mass balanced renewable grades of Voxtar™.



Achieving High Standards for Sustainability

This product is providing a reduced carbon footprint, and the production and suppliance will start during the year of 2023.


The ISCC PLUS certification has been issued by COTECNA INSPECTIONS, INDIA based on design data in April 2023 as per business plan for Voxtar™ M40.

The certification regards the Processing Unit at site Sayakha. Correctness of conversion factors, mass balance calculations and traceability aspects are some of the requirements for final product refinement.


To get a certification before the start of the production shows the commitment that Perstorp takes on in order to reach the high standard for sustainability in the chemical industry.


“We are making ourselves ready for surveillance audit based on our actual operational data after six months and are proud and happy to be able to provide our customers with certified Pro-products from the very start”, comments the team working with the process of the implementation.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:PLA BOTTLE

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share Ever wondered how we can reduce plastic pollution in India? The Mysuru-based Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL), affiliated with the DRDO, has launched an eco-friendly remedy with the introduction of biodegradable water bottles. Crafted from sustainable Polylactic acid (PLA) material, these bottles not only combat plastic waste but also contribute to reducing the overall carbon footprint. The best thing about this bottle is its all-encompassing sustainability approach – the bottle, cap, and label are all compostable. This innovation, derived from 100% bio-based and renewable sources, sets us on a path towards environmental conservation and fosters a greener and more sustainable future.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:High and low shear rate changes in Rheology

-

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share If a relatively high Mw grade flows from thin to thick, as shown in the picture, and if the time needed to fill the thick section is way shorter than the average polymer relaxation time, the polymer will not be able to reach its higher viscosity (corresponding to higher thickness/lower shear-rate). I am assuming here the polymer reached equilibrium low viscosity in the thin section, say for instance because it is much longer. Any pressure prediction not accounting for transient rheology would then overpredict the pressure to fill.Of course the diverging flow will further complicate the situation and mess with the molecular orientation created in the thin section, but to what extent ? Since this is more of a reasonable "conjecture", don't take this for granted, and discuss or share your opinion in the comments. There are hundreds of Rheology papers on the "4:1 contraction flow". Not sure I have ever seen any on the..."1:4 expansio

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : biobased content of polycarbonate diols

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share MCG increases biomass content of polycarbonate diols Mitsubishi Chemical Group (MCG) has introduced grades of its Benebiol biomass-based polycarbonate diols that have a higher biomass content. The product is primarily used in the manufacture of polyurethane resins for coatings in sectors such as automotive, furniture and outdoor products. It is also used in the production of artificial leather. Existing Benebiol grades had a bio-based content of 20-50%, but the new HSS and NLDS grades have a biomass content in excess of 80%. Some of its previous petroleum-derived grades have also been converted to biomass, as the NLS grades. This, the company said, allows it to offer bio-based grades of all its Benebiol products. The shift to biomass-based raw materials while maintaining high-quality functions will contribute to our customers’ efforts to achieve sustainable manufacturing. source:MCG/www.utech-polyurethane.com
