Cathay Biologics produces bio-produced sebacic acid project

Recently, Shanghai Cathay Biotechnology Co.
, Ltd.
(hereinafter referred to as Cathay Biotechnology) 40,000 tons/year biological sebacic acid project was successfully
put into operation.

The biometric sebacic acid industrialization technology used in the project was developed by Cathay Biologics
.
Biological sebacic acid technology solves the problem that the raw materials of chemical sebacic acid technology are heavily dependent on the import of castor oil, and also has the advantages
of mild conversion process conditions, environmental friendliness, greatly reduced cost and improved product purity.

Compared with the chemical method, the melting point of the biological sebacic acid product is increased by 0.
5 °C
.
The color number of the product is only 1/3~1/2 of the chemical sebacic acid product, the ash value is only 1/10 of the chemical method, and the global warming potential (GWP) is 22%
lower than that of the chemical method.

It is understood that the production of the bio-method sebacic acid project is another important milestone
for the company after the industrialization of bio-based pentanediamine and a series of bio-based polyamide.
Up to now, Cathay Biotech has three production bases in Jinxiang, Shandong, Wusu, Xinjiang and Taiyuan, Shanxi, and its product production capacity and supply stability have been improved
.
