We are very excited to announce an important milestone for Relement: the signing of our first offtake agreement with Worlée-Chemie. The agreement, signed by our CEO Roger Blokland and Worlée Chemie's managing director Joachim Freude, secures a fixed volume of our launching product bio MPA (biobased 3-methylphthalic anhydride). Relement and Worlée have worked closely to integrate bio MPA into alkyd coating resins, achieving results such as enhanced hardness, lower viscosity, faster drying times, and improved gloss. Worlée plans to introduce a range of commercial alkyd resins featuring bio MPA to selected European coating formulators. We are proud to work with Worlée to meet the growing demand for greener and better performing coatings. #offtake #startup #partnership #coating #biobased #bioaromatics Joachim Freude Wil van Meer Toine Biemans Lars Ossenschmidt Roger Blokland Monique Wekking Biorizon TNO https://lnkd.in/eus5HRAu

Innovation flourishes through strong collaboration! As CTO of Relement, I’m proud of how our partnership with Royal van Wijhe Verf B.V. & Worlée-Chemie led to BIOmotion70—a high-performance, eco-friendly alkyd paint. Our ingredient, bio MPA, plays a key role in achieving 70% renewable content and a 60% solvent reduction, but it’s the synergy between experts that truly drives progress.
Relement collaborated with Royal van Wijhe Verf B.V. & Worlée-Chemie to unveil a groundbreaking new durable high gloss alkyd paint called BIOmotion70. This paint achieves performance close to Van Wijhe’s best performing flagship product, LBH SDT Ultra Gloss Paint, while being significantly more eco-friendly. 🌱 Our ingredient bio MPA is the enabler to achieve 70% renewable materials and reduction of 60% of solvents in the paint. BIOmotion70 is extensively tested on durability, drying time etc. 👉 Read more about all key highlights: https://lnkd.in/e4irtwgE #Biobased #Innovation #Painttechnology #Partnership
