LEUNA-Harze
LEUNA-Harze is redefining the epoxy resin landscape with innovative bio-based solutions. By using bio-based glycerin sourced as a byproduct of biodiesel production – primarily from waste cooking fats – they create eco-friendly, cost-effective alternatives to conventional products. This approach not only reduces the reliance on fossil raw materials but also significantly lowers CO₂ emissions, making their technology a benchmark in sustainable resin development.
Shaping the future of epoxy resin sustainability
The development of bio-based epoxy resins and reactive diluents by LEUNA-Harze marks a critical step towards greener industrial chemistry. Harnessing a circular raw material stream, their process transforms waste into high-performance materials suitable for a wide range of applications.
Formulators benefit from products that match the quality and versatility of traditional resins while aligning with stringent environmental goals. By reducing fossil resource use and carbon impact, LEUNA-Harze is demonstrating that sustainability and performance can coexist – and even enhance one another. It’s a forward-thinking approach that offers industries a viable path to meeting both regulatory requirements and market demand for eco-conscious products
