OQ Chemicals to supply ISCC PLUS certified Oxbalance® TCD Alcohol DM (tricyclodecane dimethanol), in response to growing market preferences for environmentally friendly alternatives. This product is manufactured using the bio-circular precursor DCPD (#dicyclopentadiene) from #Shell Chemicals Europe, which is also #ISCC Plus certified.

Sustainable & Environmentally Conscious Alternative

TCD Alcohol DM serves as a versatile component in the production of high-performance technical polymers, paints and coatings, and adhesives used across sectors such as food packaging, electronics, and automotive. It is valued for its exceptional ability to enhance the properties of the final product, including improved durability, chemical resistance, and thermal stability.

The #biobasedOxbalance TCD Alcohol DM serves as a #sustainable and environmentally conscious alternative to its fully synthetic counterpart.

“#OQChemicals’ new Oxbalance offering aligns with changing market preferences as customers increasingly seek out more sustainable alternatives without compromising quality or performance. Our partnership with Shell Chemicals Europe ensures a consistent supply of high-quality #biocircular DCPD for our production. With Oxbalance® TCD Alcohol DM, we’ve added another product to our portfolio that supports our customers on their path towards more #sustainability,” said Kyle Hendrix, executive vice president marketing at OQ Chemicals.

“Our collaboration with OQ Chemicals to deliver ISCC PLUS-certified bio-circular DCPD that is based on a mass balance approach is another example of how Shell Chemicals works with customers to develop solutions to meet their objectives,” said Liz Allen, director, Shell Chemicals Europe. “It’s also an example of how Shell is committed to delivering premium quality sustainable solutions to support a circular economy.”
