MOSCOW (MRC) -- Croda International
says it has entered a global sales and marketing agreement with Genesis
Biosciences (Cardiff, UK) to expand its portfolio of safe and sustainable
cleaning raw materials, said Chemweek.
The
first phase of the partnership will see the launch of two probiotic ingredients,
one for use in hard-surface cleaning products and one for use in
odor-neutralizing products. The two ingredients will be available from the end
of January, the company says.
Genesis Biosciences specializes in the
fermentation of bacteria strains to develop safe and natural microbial and
antimicrobial products, Croda says. This technology is “the result of years of
[R&D] to characterize natural beneficial bacteria and optimize
high-performing consortia for specific applications,” says Peter Wallbank,
business development manager at Genesis Biosciences.
As MRC informed earlier,
Croda International (Goole, UK) says it has entered a partnership with Sentient
Science (Buffalo, New York), an asset management and software services company,
for the recommended use of Croda’s Rewitec additives for wind turbine gearboxes
and main bearings.
We remind
that Russia's output of chemical products rose in November 2020 by 9.5% year
on year. At the same time, production of basic chemicals increased in the first
eleven months of 2020 by 6.6% year on year, according to Rosstat's data.
According to the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation,
polymers in primary form accounted for the greatest increase in the
January-November 2020 output. November production of polymers in primary form
rose to 896,000 tonnes from 852,000 tonnes in October. Overall output of
polymers in primary form totalled 9,240,000 tonnes over the stated period, up by
17.1% year on year.
Croda acquired Rewitec in 2019 and began to
offer to energy technology customers nano- and micro-particle-based additives to
increase the durability of machinery by lowering friction and reducing wear, the
company says. Prior to the acquisition in 2017, Sentient Science validated
Rewitec’s DuraGear gearbox oil additives for use in wind turbine gearboxes, it
says. |
