Advancion Corporation has officially announced the commercial launch of a next-generation portfolio, which happens to include multifunctional additives based on its new aminoamyl alcohol technology platform.
According to certain reports, these new multifunctional additives are readily biodegradable and optimized for use in various end-use applications.
Talk about the same on a slightly deeper level, we begin from the ones catering to products like paints and coatings, as well as general industrial markets. Here, Advancion has introduced OPTIMINE™ multifunctional additives that are well-equipped to provide exceptional performance as high-efficiency stabilizers, pigment co-dispersants and neutralizers. Not just that, they are also ideal for advanced waterborne coatings formulations with a low-VOC (volatile organic compound) and emissions profile.
Next up, we have additives for personal care cosmetics products. This category will be supported by ELEVANCE™ ULTRA multifunctional additives (INCI: Amino Methylisobutanol) that can enable access to superior hair fixative resin performance and pigment dispersion. They are also compatible with a wide range of commonly used natural and synthetic formulating ingredients that support cleaner and more effective personal care products.
“This innovation embodies our dedication to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, offering the market powerful, versatile and environmentally responsible solutions for today’s complex formulation challenges,” said Dr. Kathleen Havelka, Senior Vice President of Research, Development, and Applications at Advancion Corporation. “Our next-generation formulating ingredients were designed to deliver the qualities and performance formulators rely on for dependable and superior results while meeting increasingly stringent safety and regulatory standards across personal care, coatings, metalworking fluids, electronics and other essential end-use applications.”
Another category covered by Advancion’s new additives is of metalworking fluids. To support that, the company has introduced CORRGUARD™ SELECT multifunctional additives that excel in multi-metal compatibility to provide high in-use pH buffering and excellent foam control. Thanks to that, the solution can generate outstanding performance in the most demanding metalworking fluids applications.
Among other things, we ought to mention how commercialization of Advancion’s latest new products is backed by extensive environmental, health and safety testing. As for their origins, they are all produced at Advancion’s Sterlington, Louisiana facility. Having said that, the company has future technology transfer and capacity investments already planned to effectively add dual manufacturing capabilities at the company’s Ibbenbüren, Germany site.
Markedly enough, multiple commercial batches of Advancion’s new multifunctional additives are available for formulation evaluation globally. Beyond that, commercial volumes are now available for sale in Europe, select Asian and South American markets, and for use across United States in personal care and cosmetics products only.
As for its EPA TSCA registration, it is currently under progress, with the company already looking towards more product registrations based on market demand.
Advancion’s rise up the ranks stems from producing specialty ingredients and consumables for biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, home and personal care, and other consumer-oriented and industrial markets. At present, the company is one of the world’s largest producers in life sciences buffers and other proprietary ingredients. The scale of Advancion’s operations can also be understood once you consider it operates, as of today, three manufacturing facilities in the United States and Germany. It also serves its global customers through six regional Customer Application Centers located in Chicago, Illinois; Paris, France; São Paulo, Brazil; Singapore; Shanghai, China; and Mumbai, India.
“This is a proud milestone for Advancion that demonstrates our commitment to innovation and high-performance,” said David Neuberger, President and Chief Executive Office at Advancion Corporation. “Advancion’s new multifunctional additive platform was specifically engineered to deliver performance exceeding that of AMP (aminomethyl propanol) in formulations across all known market applications while simultaneously providing a best-in-class safety and toxicity profile. We are excited to deliver a new product family that redefines the standards for multifunctional ingredients and enables our global customers to create high-performance end-use products that meet the demands of today’s markets and tomorrow’s sustainability goals.”
