Butadiene by Glycos Biotechnologies is a cracker olefinic monomer. It is currently produced by extractive distillation from a crude butylene concentration stream, a by-product of ethylene and propylene production. Butadiene is used in adhesive applications.
GlycosBio’s Bio-SIM™ (biologically produced synthetic isoprene monomer) technology provides high-yields of isoprene from low-cost feedstocks such as crude glycerol that are available globally and are sustainable on a large scale. It is produced using proprietary microbial catalysts in a highly scalable fermentation process that leverages a low cost of raw materials and conventional process technology. Isoprene is used in adhesives and sealants.
