Sept 24 2013, Shanghai China, several green raw material suppliers mentioned at Green Industrial Coating Asia 2013 that they would strengthen the R&D and promotion of bio-based concept in coating market. The ups and downs of oil price leads to the raw material price increase for the downstream chemical market and oil shall be used up in one day.
Some far-sighted chemical companies already started the bio-based research years ago, Bayer Material Science, Allnex, Becker Industrial Coating, BASF, even position bio-based application as Future strategy. China is one of the world largest oil consumption countries, the effect of oil crisis shall be more obvious in future.
In the panel discussion, majority of companies regarded China as the most potential country to develop bio-based technology. Poly-Lactic Acid, Succinic Acid, BDO, PHAs are already produced in bio-based route with mature techniques and the performance can also compete with Petroleum-based products.
Purac and Perstorp already work together to develop Caprolactone Lactide Co-Product at beginning of 2013.Bioamber are seeking opportunity to work with China coating, PU, plastics partners and move its strategy to Asia. Ecoat France-An innovative leader in Eco-friendly Coatings opened a new representative office in China this year to better serve Asia market. Becker follows sustainable program and considers bio-content raw materials in coil coating.
At the beginning of 2013, China State Council has put forward “Planning for Biotech Development” blueprint. Biobased industry is not only a new growth point for companies, but also a national strategy for China.
