Advanced Biochemical (Thailand) Co., Ltd. Bio-based EPICHLOROHYDRIN
Bio-based
Petro-based
【Source： Green Chemicals Blog】 Advanced Biochemical (Thailand) Co., Ltd. Competitive “Drop-in” for Petro-based EPI
• 100% bio-based epichlorohydrin produced from vegetable glycerol via an innovative and patented technology. It is a drop-in for petro-based EPI • Glycerol is a by-product of manufacturing biodiesel and oleochemicals • EPI is used as an intermediate of epoxy resins and other derivatives. Epoxy resins are used in the following applications:
Coatings Electronics Composites Adhesives
• Other epichlorohydrin derivatives include surfactants for home & personal care, water treatment and paper chemicals
Advanced Biochemical (Thailand) Co., Ltd. The Most Sustainable EPICHLOROHYDRIN
• A comparative, cradle-to-gate Life-Cycle Assessment of Bio-based vs. petro- based EPI was conducted in 2012 and peer reviewed by Dekra Consulting.
• For each kg consumed (vs. petro-based EPI), the carbon footprint is lowered by 2.56 kg CO2 eq. or 61% reduction including biogenic CO2.
based EPI • ABT has been certified by Roundtable on - Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) since Bio 2015.

Advanced Biochemical (Thailand) Co., Ltd. ProBioTracker - The Innovative Partnership with AkzoNobel and EY
Petro-based EPI Epoxy resin • 2013 - AkzoNobel increased the use of producer 1 manufacturer 1 renewable raw materials in its paints and coatings by progressively increasing the use of epoxy resins based on bio-based Epoxy resin manufacturer 2 EPI from ABT • 2016 - EY CCaSS joined forces to develop an online platform to track the bio- Epoxy resin based material along the value chain Petro-based EPI manufacturer 3 producer 2 even without physical segregation or when it is converted to another rd 3 party calculation of “Chain of substance Custody” and online bio-based certificate by EY Climate Change and • 2017 - probiotracker.com was launched Sustainability Services • 2018 - ProBioTracker is under trial by ABT, a number of epoxy resin manufacturers and AkzoNobel
Advanced Biochemical (Thailand) Co., Ltd. “Techno Driven” – Aiming for 100% Bio-based Epoxy Resin
Bio-based content can be increased up to 100% by substitute BPA with renewable sources: • Cardanol: renewable aromatics extracted from cashew nutshell • Lignin: lignocellulose in plants’ cell wall, it is one of the most promising alternative for BPA • Rosin: naturally found in pines and conifers, extracted by distillation of tall oil, a by- product of the Kraft pulp process • Isosorbide: derived from corn, commercially available • Furan Di-Carboxylic Acids: from fructose, through dehydration and oxidation process • Itaconic acid (fermentation of glucose), Gallic acid (derived from plant) and others
Advanced Biochemical (Thailand) Co., Ltd. Conclusion
ABT produces 100% bio-based epichlorohydrin by patented technology, is a market competitive drop-in for petro-based EPI
It is the most sustainable EPI in terms of CO2 emissions and process environmental performance
Use of bio-based epoxy resins enable downstream industries to reduce its carbon footprint, while increasing the bio-content of finished products
