LEUNA-Harze's bio-based epoxy resin process is a beacon of sustainability in the industry

By utilizing renewable resources and own produced raw materials, the production of these biobased epoxy resins and reactive diluents significantly reduce the carbon footprint. This innovative approach is a major step forward from traditional petroleum-based methods, offering a greener and more responsible choice for the industry. Our commitment to sustainability doesn’t end with the product; our manufacturing process is also designed to minimize environmental impact, making LEUNA-Harze a leader in eco-friendly industrial solutions.

Glycerin process

The glycerin transformation process employed by LEUNA-Harze GmbH is not only designed for efficiency and sustainability but is also integral to the production of chlorine, hydrogen, hydrochloric acid, and sodium hydroxide. This comprehensive method seamlessly combines electrolysis with internal epichlorohydrin (ECH) synthesis, effectively converting bio-based glycerin in a more eco-conscious manner. Harnessing steam energy and utilizing sodium chloride and waste materials, this approach yields vital components necessary for various products, particularly bio-based epoxy resins and reactive diluents.
