Therefore, the introduction of our ISCC PLUS certified OxBalance Isononanoic Acid is a significant milestone in our journey towards sustainable chemical production. With the same specifications and quality, our OxBalance products are a drop-in replacement for traditional carboxylic acids. As consumers demand more environmentally friendly products, we see a great opportunity for our customers to shift from fossil-based to sustainable feedstocks without compromising on quality or performance,\u201d said <strong>David Faust, Executive Vice President Oxo Performance Chemicals at OQ Chemicals<\/strong>.<\/p><p>\u201cAt OQ Chemicals, we are proud to be the first to offer bio-based isononanoic acid. For us, this is the logical next step on our journey towards greater sustainability. We aim to make our large-scale production processes more environmentally friendly, efficient, and sustainable while reducing emissions. As we expand our portfolio of bio-based Oxo Performance Chemicals, such as carboxylic acids, we invest in capacity expansions and explore new ways to innovate and improve our chemical production processes,\u201d added <strong>Dr. Oliver Borgmeier, CEO of OQ Chemicals<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The new OxBalance product line uses the mass balance concept to trace renewable feedstocks in chemical production processes and allocate them to products.
