EPINITY™ Bio-based Epichlorohydrin

100% EPINITY™ Bio-based Epichlorohydrin (ECH) is produced using an innovative and patented process based on glycerol.

Glycerol is a renewable feedstock and a by-product of biodiesel and oleochemical production. It offers significant environmental advantages compared to propylene-based ECH from fossil fuel. ECH is developed in Thailand by the Advanced Biochemical Co. Ltd., as part of the AGC group.
