Cologne/Germany – Lanxess and Matrìca, a joint venture between Versalis (Eni) and Novamont, have partnered to produce sustainable biocide preservatives from renewable raw materials. Starting in January 2022, the Matrìca plant at Porto Torres (Sardinia, Italy) will supply Lanxess with bio-based raw materials from vegetable oils which Lanxess will use to manufacture a new series of industrial preservatives.

With this partnership, both companies aim to significantly advance the production of sustainable preservatives and address the markets’ growing demand. The new preservatives are designed for consumer products, such as household cleaners, laundry care and dishwashing products as well as paints and coatings.

Dr. Oliver Kretschik, Vice President of the Biocides business line at Lanxess’ Material Protection Products business unit states, “We consider the use of bio-based raw materials as crucial for modern preservatives. With this collaboration we can create a new generation of preservatives based on renewable resources in numerous applications. This approach stresses Lanxess’ strategic focus on sustainability and consumer protection.”

Matrìca’s bioproducts range, made from European vegetable raw materials, is derived entirely from renewable sources thanks to an innovative technology that aims to use the molecular complexity of the vegetable raw material to produce chemicals with high added value.
