Welcome back to #FLEXIWednesdays! This week, we're diving into how fatty amines are transforming the #detergents #industry, enhancing the effectiveness of cleaning products and fabric care. Fatty amines play a crucial role in breaking down and emulsifying oils and dirt, leading to more effective cleaning results: 🔹 Enhanced Fabric Care 🔹 Improved Product Stability 🔹 Eco-friendly Alternatives 🌍 Why This Matters 🌍 The integration of fatty amines into detergents is more than just a technical improvement—it’s a step towards more #effective, #sustainable, and #consumerfriendly cleaning products. As demand for high-performance and environmentally conscious products rises, fatty amines are becoming a key ingredient in shaping the future of the detergents industry. Stay tuned as we continue to explore the innovative ways #FLEXIZYME is impacting various industries! This project has received funding by the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) under Grant Agreement No 101157528.

#Talks with BIORING researchers !!! Which is the #novelty and added value #of the BIORING process and product solutions? If we look at sectors such as automotive and furniture, the ones in which BIORING works, developing and using polymers with a relatively low biobased content, let’s say around 20-30%, is well known and feasible. There are already some examples on the market, or close to it. However, moving to materials with a large majority of biobased contents, and similar performances and costs as conventional materials, is a difficult challenge. BIORING aims to do a step-forward in the synthesis of alternative, #sustainable, and #biobased chemicals addressing three main challenges: first, to synthetise the building blocks, converting biomass into polymers. We will develop #molecules, which can be derived from #biomass and contain specific functionalities that allow to polymerize them. We need to solve significant chemical problems, including selection of #catalysts and separation and purification of products, among many others. Second, to adapt the current polymer chemistry processes to the new building blocks. #Polymerization does not happen in the same conditions as in conventional approaches, and might be more complex, slow, and costly. We are taking a chemical process developed in decades of work and try to stretch and adapt it to the new biobased molecules. Third, to do it in a cost-effective way. Despite the novelty and complexity of the new chemistry, we need to avoid making significant changes to conventional processes. The fewer are the changes in the production process will require, the higher will be the potential for market uptake of BIORING solutions.

🤔 Did you know that #bioplastics are not just a single material? According to European Bioplastics, bioplastics consist of a whole family of materials with various characteristics and applications. A bioplastic material can be either #biobased, #biodegradable or both. ♻️ Taking this into consideration, on CUBIC we will develop novel circular biobased alternative materials, 100% recyclable by design! 👉 Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/grENibK Υou can find everything about bioplastics in this explicit fact seed: https://lnkd.in/dBAQGHRU #thermoplasticproducts #biobasedmaterials #recyclability #CUBICproject SPECIFIC POLYMERS | CIDETEC | Bernal Institute, University of Limerick | Novamont | Centexbel | CARBOTAINER | Moses Productos | CIRCE - Centro Tecnológico | Q-PLAN INTERNATIONAL | Comfil ApS | German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research | Aitiip Centro Tecnológico| IDENER.AI |VIBES Project 2021-2025| Project ESTELLA| BIO-UPTAKE

Which is the novelty and added value of the BIORING process and product solutions? Developing biobased building blocks that can work as complementary components to fossil-based ones, giving an ample flexibility to coating manufacturers in creating new protective and more sustainable coatings, is the BIORING goal. We are developing a platform that will allow up to 95% biobased contents of the coating, with composition and properties adaptable to the specific needs of the user.

Barcelona, Spain-based Jolt says its patented Sparkfuze process can allow alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) and anion exchange membrane (AEM) anodes and cathodes to be coated in less than 60 seconds. The company also claims it can cut manufacturing voltage requirements using equipment that can be sourced off the shelf in any country at “extremely low” cost, beating existing technology which Jolt says is “slow, energy-intensive and expensive.” Jolt - Activated (CCS & CCM) Electrodes & Anti-Corrosion Coatings, a spinoff of the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (Institut Català d'Investigació Química or ICIQ) at the Rovira i Virgili University in Tarragona, Spain, will be opening a Sparkfuze line with up to 4 gigawatts of capacity in Barcelona for existing AWE and AEM customers.
