Call for Participation: Phthalic Anhdryide
Biorizon co-initiator TNO is looking for partners that are interested in the development of biobased phthalic anhydride. This is a key feedstock for plasticizers, as well as unsaturated polyester and alkyd resins. Biorizon co-initiator TNO is the initiator of this project and is currently busy with the formation of a consortium and the search for additional funding.Industry Demand for Biobased Coatings
In specific response to the wish of industry to develop biobased coatings, the envisioned project will be aimed at improving and expanding the scientific knowledge base to enable the scale up of biobased PA production and contribute to the development of a sustainable chemical industry and lowering the CO2-footprint.
Call for Partners
We are looking for the following partners:
- Chemical intermediate manufacturers that are preferably already active in the PA market and would like to collaborate on technology development and the production of biobased PA;
- Resin, coating and paint manufacturers who are committed to a sustainable chemical industry and want to contribute to the pioneering development of biobased PA.
- Other relevant partners like RTO’s or public entities that contribute to technology development.
The pathway that will be developed within the envisioned biobased PA project has the potential to become the most cost-efficient route towards biobased PA. Partners of this project will have the opportunity to be involved from an early stage of this promising research, including the benefits of sharing knowledge and being at the forefront of application and commercial developments.
Participation is open to diversified mix organizations (RTO’s, public entities, private companies (industrial partners and SMEs), NGOs. Depending on the type of involvement, contribution per partner is expected to range from €25k-€50k in cash and €25k-€50k in kind.

Samples
Thanks to Biorizon’s high-quality facilities, specialized knowledge, years of experience and the successful involvement of the entire bio-aromatics value chain, we manage to produce bio-aromatics continuously (on a kg/h scale). We are currently validating our continuous processes and working with industry partners toward the next stage: demonstration. This makes Shared Research Center Biorizon the most advanced and valued research program in sustainable bio-aromatics worldwide. We offer the chemical industry an excellent platform to make the transition to a circular bio-economy.
Do you want to contribute to our mission to enable commercial production of bio-aromatics by 2025? Come and join us! Take a look at Biorizon's samples, and reach out to our business development managers for more information.
