Ascend produces bio-circular performance chemicals, PA66

HOUSTON,Dec. 18,2024 -- Ascend Performance Materials announced today the successful production of acrylonitrile,hexamethylene diamine,adipic acid and nylon 6,6 from feedstocks derived from used cooking oil,expanding its Bioserve portfolio. The resulting nylon 6,6 has a 25% lower product carbon footprint than nylon 6,6 made from fossil-fuel derived feedstock.

Using an ISCC Plus-certified mass-balance approach allows for industrial-scale production of sustainable materials without sacrificing performance. Ascend's production facilities in the United States are all ISCC Plus certified to handle bio-based,circular and bio-circular materials.

"We are focused on finding technical solutions for our customers' challenges," said Alex Mihut,Ascend's vice president for performance chemicals. "Using the mass-balance approach allows us to meet the growing need for sustainable materials at scale while continuing to offer reliable performance and quality."

Combined with Ascend's efforts to lower its scope 1 and 2 emissions,the company's Bioserve products offer among the lowest product carbon footprints for industrial-scale nylon 6,6 and its precursors available in the market today.

"Part of our sustainability strategy is a pillar we call 'Operating Without Compromise'," said Chris Johnson,Ascend's senior director for sustainability. "It is based on a commitment to find well-rounded solutions that meet the needs of our customers and help them achieve their goals."
