Aug 18, 2023LG Chem launches production of plant-based acrylic acid - Energy Live News

LG Chem has launched the prototype production of 100% bio-acrylic acid and intends to commercially produce it later this year.
The product is derived from 3-Hydroxypropionic acid (3HP), produced by microbial fermentation of plant-based raw materials, with the product retaining the same molecular structure and properties as conventional acrylic acid while being entierly plant-based.
Bio-acrylic acid can be applied to various materials, including cosmetic ingredients that directly contact the skin, super absorbent polymers (SAP) for diapers, adhesives for electronics and vehicles, coating materials and eco-friendly paints.
Although attempts to develop bio-acrylic acid technology have been made worldwide, none is said to have reached commercialisation until now.
With an initial production capacity of 100 metric tons per year, LG Chem plans to scale up production if demand for eco-friendly raw materials increases.
Song Byung-Keun, Senior Vice President and Head of Acrylates/SAP Business Unit at LG Chem said: “We expect bio-acrylic acid to be an innovative product that meets the sustainability needs of our customers and the market. We will continue leading the development of eco-friendly technologies.”
