proionic is REACH lead registant for EMIM-OOc
We are convinced that a company has economic success where its values and its products' values meet society’s values. That’s why we at proionic strongly believe in the future of ionic liquids as solvents for biopolymers. For this application recyclability of our products is technically feasible (stability given, critical parameters known) and economically necessary. The costs of an ionic liquid compared to other solvents, especially in the past, have led to intensive research regarding the recyclability right from the start. Therefore, we already possess extensive know-how in that field. For sure the price is still a topic of high importance, but that’s more of an issue of economy of scale. To overcome that we have now REACH registered our most promising candidate EMIM-OOc and will invest a significant amount of money into new production equipment to remain a reliant partner for our valued customers, assuring high quality ionic liquids at ton scale with short lead times.
We want to further contribute to the development of sustainable products and to circular economy in general. Cellulose and cellulose based products will play an important role in the future. Inventions like cellulose beads by Naturbeads Ldt. or the HighPerCell® process developed by the German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research Denkendorf (DITF, Dr. Frank Hermanutz) pave the way for the production of sustainable products with superior quality.
