VISIOMER®

Sustainability and the improvement of environmental performance are essential key values to us

Count on us as your partner for sustainable solutions tailored to your specific needs.
In addition to analyzing and reducing the carbon footprint throughout the supply chain, we develop processes with the highest possible degree of resource efficiency. Furthermore, we act according to high ESHQ standards.

Our VISIOMER® methacrylate monomers support sustainability in a variety of end-use applications. VISIOMER® copolymers increase sustainability aspects in oil and gas applications, help to purify wastewater, and can be used for the formulation of low-VOC coatings and the replacement of hazardous substances in the industry, to name just a few examples.

Another key aspect of constantly challenging and improving sustainability performance is the use of bio-based raw materials for the production of methacrylate monomers. Our motivation is both to use bio-renewable raw materials and to offer added value in the end applications. The partially bio-based products in our standard portfolio are grouped under the product family VISIOMER® Terra to highlight their origin from bio-renewable raw materials. Furthermore, we dedicate significant resources to developing new bio-based products and exploring options to produce existing products with a reasonable bio-content in the future.
