Covation Biomaterials Announces Launch Of Bioptmeg At Chinaplas 2025

(MENAFN- PR Newswire) BioPTMEG is a bio-based alternative to petroleum-based PTMEG, helping customers reduce their reliance on non-renewable materials and maintain the durability and resilience expected in high performance applications such as spandex, polyurethanes and thermoplastic elastomers.

A few of the superior sustainability benefits offered by CovationBio^® bioPTMEG include:

• a substantial reduction of greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil-based incumbents;
• a product that is 100% bio-based and obtained from annually renewable resources;
• the use of feedstock such as corncobs which do not compete with primary food sources;
• a reduced reliance on non-renewable fossil fuel use.
• Drop-in performance to allow downstream to switch to bio-based raw material without major process change

Mr. Feifeng You, Chairman of CovationBio, stated: "As a force of nature, CovationBio's vision is to build a sustainable, decarbonized materials industry. To this end, we're proud to launch CovationBio^® bioPTMEG. It uses carbon absorbed by plants from the atmosphere for material creation, improving the quality of life. We're scaling up production to cut carbon footprints. This is our responsibility to future generations. Through continuous innovation and cooperation, we aim to build a sustainable and regenerative materials industry. We invite all stakeholders to join us in creating a greener, cleaner, and more prosperous world."

"This drop-in replacement can be seamlessly integrated into existing manufacturing processes and does not require extensive, or even any, product development," he added

The construction of a plant in Jiangsu Province, Qidong is expected to be mechanically complete toward the end of 2025. Commercial production should begin in the first quarter of 2026.

Those attending Chinaplas may visit the CovationBio^® booth at Hall 20, Booth H21 from April 15-18, 2025.
Aligned with this year's theme, "Transformation, Collaboration, Sustainability," the team will highlight how CovationBio^® bioPTMEG can integrate into customer materials and advance sustainability strategies.

On April 14^th 2025, the Global Marketing Director for C4 Platform Dr. Mosha Zhao and the Global Technology Director of CovationBio Dr. Dan Slanac will make the first official introduction to CovationBio^® bioPTMEG on the Media Day of Chinaplas 2025 to share the global sustainability commitment of CovationBio and the impact of this new technology.
