Get to know our portfolio of high-quality polymers, biopolymers and specialty surfactants created for high-performing color cosmetics, hair, skin and sun care formulations.
Most peroxide formulations available in powder form or granules made from compacted powder have the tendency to form dust, which can build up in production units, storage facilities, and weighing rooms. Applying our polymer bound formulations based on elastomeric carriers, the dust problem is solved.
Our colloidal silica products - Levasil® CA, with very low levels of chlorides and sulfates are perfect for use in catalysts for the chemical industry.
Introducing a multi-purpose, biodegradable dispersant (Agrilan® 1015) that can replace less sustainable products in water-based crop protection and seed-treatment formulations.
Investing in Icos Capital Fund IV, a collaborative venture capital fund connecting corporations and financial institutions with start-ups that have a potential for fast growth. The investment strategy of the Icos Capital Fund IV will be focused on new and emerging technologies in the areas of sustainable industry, decarbonization technologies, circular economy, and sustainable food systems.
Introducing LumaTreat™, a global patent-pending smart-tagged polymer line of products that is revolutionary in the water management industry. LumaTreat products are fluorescent monomers that attach on a deposit control agent. The combination of the fluorescent monomer and deposit control polymer provide a Smart Tag that accurately measures the ‘free’ or unused polymer in the water treatment system.
Across the Asia Pacific region, skincare is gaining traction more rapidly than any other beauty industry segment. This is because skincare occupies a niche amid varied consumer demands and trends. These include the consumers’ demand for health-boosting self-care products, their interest in regimens and routines, and their ability and desire to use social media to educate and empower themselves. Moreover, ingredients, texture and format play a key role in beauty products, to deliver aesthetic pleasure, efficacy and a sensory experience. Amid this pandemic, consumers are keen on the active ingredients used in the products for a meaningful rejuvenation of their skin. So, what is Nouryon up to for the ever-demanding customers? The answer is a new Hydrovance version.
Perkadox AIBN-PD, 2,2'-Azodi(isobutyronitrile), CAS 78-67-1, AZO initiator, We offer azo initiators, such as Perkadox® AIBN (azobisisobutyronitrile) and Perkadox® AMBN (2-methylbutyronitrile), for bulk, solution suspension and emulsion polymerization of a wide variety of monomers, such as styrene, vinylchloride, vinylidenechloride, acrylonitrile, acrylates and methacrylates.
Our most commonly used initiator is AIBN, but our AMBN provides even better solubility than AIBN.
Advantages of AIBN initiators: Azo initiators have many advantages over standard organic peroxides, such as the fact that they form no oxygenated byproducts and provide low yellow discoloration. Azo initiators generate only C-centered radicals, which are low energy and very selective and cause a low amount of branching. This provides low Poly Dispersity Index (PDI) values and molecular weights.
AIBN and other azo initiators provide excellent color stability in transparent colored polymers, such as PMMA. They do not form oxygenated residues and do not cause oxidative degradation of pigmented or dyed systems.
Compared with organic peroxides, azo initiators avoid excessive grafting, making them particularly suitable for use in manufacturing acrylic cast and moulded sheets, as well as adhesives, acrylic fibers, super absorbers, detergents and flocculants.
Perkadox® AIBN can also be used for pharmaceutical and fine organic synthesis.
Our Trigonox 421 provides similar technical performance and is a sustainable alternative for AIBN. An additional advantage of Trigonox 421 is that all decomposition products that are generated are non-toxic, which is in contrast to AIBN which forms toxic TMSN.
AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals and Gasunie New Energy have joined forces to investigate the possible large scale conversion of sustainable electricity into green hydrogen via the electrolysis of water.
