Epilox® – G Series BIO

Sustainability for LEUNA-Harze GmbH means, among other things, reorienting away from petroleum-based to renewable raw materials. This approach is modelled on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework. A sustainable alternative has been available for many resins and reactive diluents since 2021, complementing the existing variants of our products.

The so-called G-variants are produced in a special process involving the use of renewable raw materials, so that the final products contain a carbon fraction from renewable raw materials. This means that CO2 emissions can be significant-ly reduced before and during the production process when compared with previous products.

The products of the G-series are identical to previous products in terms of their physical and chemical properties and can thus be used in existing formulations, therefore preventing additional work and costs for the customer while immediately reducing the CO2 footprint.

The amount of bio-based carbon in the products has been analyzed by an independent laboratory by means of the radiocarbon 14C method and can be guaranteed due to our separate production lines.
