Last month, Archer Daniels Midland Company and Clariant announced the introduction of its biobased propylene glycol, which meets existing industry standards and can be used interchangeably with its petroleum-derived equivalent.
ADM Evolution Chemical's line of de-icing fluid is now utilised by Clariant's Safewing® and OctafloTM brands of aircraft de-icing fluids in North America. Safewing and Octaflo products made with ADM's biobased de-icing fluid fulfil all performance expectations and reduce carbon footprint.
Michael Willome, Global Head of Clariant's Industrial & Consumer Specialties Business Unit, commented: "Use of biobased propylene glycol, along with our innovative closed-loop aircraft de-icing fluid recycling technology, exemplifies Clariant's EcoTain® concept which embraces the design of sustainable products and processes."
