Solvay’s Epicerol has won the JEC Asia 2015 Innovation Award for ‘Bio-based ECH for more sustainable epoxy resins’. Both Solvay, owner of the Epicerol® technology and trade mark, and Advanced Biochemical (Thailand) Co., Ltd. or ABT, the producer of Epicerol®, have been awarded in the Raw Materials category.

Epicerol is a 100% bio-based epichlorohydrin (ECH), a chemical intermediate mainly used in the production of epoxy resins, a key material for a wide range of industries namely composites, coatings and electronics. A recent partnership with customers saw Epicerol-based epoxy resins being used in the composite matrix of a Belgian Solar Car, The Punch One, allowing for 45% bio content in the resin.

“Solvay and ABT are very proud to have been recognised for Epicerol’s environmental performance benefits”, said Pan-usa Kongmunwattana, Marketing Manager for ABT. “Epicerol is a market competitive drop-in for petro- based epichlorohydrin and has been used worldwide by our business partners since 2012.”
