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.

Nouryon, a global leader in specialty chemicals, recently celebrated the opening of its Agricultural Application Development Center in Itupeva, Brazil. The new center is focused on research and development of sustainable formulations to meet the increasing agricultural input demand throughout South America. This modern center enhances the customer experience and hosts both virtual and onsite events, workshops, and trainings.

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.

“LumaTreat® tagged polymers are a revolutionary chemistry solution for the global water management industry,” said Joppe Smit, Vice President of Nouryon’s Natural Resources business line. “We are proud to offer this patented, innovative technology to customers to help them solve scale and deposit issues in a multitude of industrial water treatment applications.”

We offer CMC, colloidal silica, and hydrogen peroxide for batteries such as AkuPure™ CMC for lithium-ion battery cell binders and separators; Eka® HP hydrogen peroxide for metal refining and recycling; Levasil® GB colloidal silica for gel lead-acid and AGM batteries. Learn more.

Our second annual Sustainability Report, summarizing the company’s global sustainability activities, performance and results from 2020.

Nouryon today announced the expansion of its Kromasil® chromatography media manufacturing facility in Bohus, Sweden. Construction will begin in early 2025, and the start of production is expected in early 2027. This expansion will double the facility’s capacity to meet the growing global demand for peptide-based drugs in the GLP-1 receptor agonist class. Kromasil® chromatography media, a key product in the Company's Consumer & Life Sciences segment, plays a crucial role for purifying novel peptide-based pharmaceuticals, including treatments for type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a relatively strong oxidizing agent used in the bleaching of both mechanical and chemical pulps and other industrial solutions. Other uses include hard surface disinfectants and oxidizers.

With the help of superior quality Nouryon manufacturing, E5® has risen to the top as the industry leader in nano silica utilization in concrete, which is driving sustainability in the built environment and setting a benchmark for others to follow. - [June 2024]

At Nouryon, many of our products help protect and improve the durability of bridges and other structures. For example, we work with partners in China to protect some of the most technologically complex bridges in the world.

Launching two new innovative products at the annual SEPAWA Congress and Exhibition, hosted in Berlin, Germany. The new innovations include Berol® Nexxt, a next-generation surfactant and multifunctional hydrotrope, and Dissolvine® GL Premium, the industry’s most concentrated GLDA-based chelating agent.
