Solvay Launches ISCC PLUS Certified Mass Balance HQ, HQ Monomethylether
15 Feb 2023
Solvay has announced that the production of its hydroquinone (HQ) and hydroquinone monomethylether (MeHQ) in Saint-Fons, France has been accredited to comply with the mass balance accounting regime of the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUSsystem*.
HQ and MeHQ (also referred to as para-methoxyphenol, PMP) are frequently used as building blocks in the formulation of polyetherether ketone (PEEK), liquid crystal polymer (LCP) and other high-performance engineering thermoplastics. They also serve as raw materials in epoxy and polyester coatings, in polyurethane adhesives, and as inhibitors for monomer stabilization during production, storage and transportation.
“As a leading producer of HQ and MeHQ, offering mass balance certified grades exemplifies our strategic commitment to drive the change towards high-quality, sustainable solutions as the polymer and chemicals industry is transforming from a linear to a more circular economy,” said Jo Grosemans, Solvay natural growth director.
* Mass balance accounting according to the ISCC PLUS regime has become a globally acknowledged industry standard that defines a clear set of rules for tracking and tracing the content of circular and renewable feedstock in materials and end products. As a result, users of certified materials across the entire value chain can claim a measurably reduced carbon footprint for their formulations.
