The direct synthesis of propylene and hydrogen peroxide into propylene glycol will enter the market
today with an exclusive technology partnership
between Dow and Evonik.
Together, the two companies plan to come up with a unique method, HYPROSYNTM, to bring propylene and hydrogen peroxide directly into the market
by synthesizing propylene glycol (PG).
In the traditional method, propylene oxide (PO) is converted to propylene glycol
by water.
In the HYPROSYNTM method, researchers have developed a novel catalytic system for the direct synthesis of propylene glycol
from propylene and hydrogen peroxide.
The process has several advantages: it is expected to significantly reduce energy consumption while increasing production; All reaction steps are combined into one reactor; Existing propylene glycol plants can be easily retrofitted; Processing only hydrogen peroxide and propylene as feedstock increases flexibility and reduces total investment costs
.
MichaelTräxler, Head of Active Oxygen Business Unit at Evonik, said, "We are delighted to be working with Dow to bring the HYPROSYNTM process to market
.
Dow is currently the world's largest producer of propylene glycol and a global leader in materials science
.
Dow's technology and market experience will accelerate our growth
