LCIA EN 15804 + A2 Methodology Followed for Assessments
The assessments were conducted according to the LCIA EN 15804 + A2 methodology. Key results of this cradle-to-gate analysis include global warming potential (kg CO2 Eq ) of -0.39 for Santicizer® Platinum G-2000 and -0.55 for Santicizer® Platinum G-2030.
Santicizer® Platinum G-2000 and G-2030 are epoxy soyate esters with 85% certified biobased content. Santicizer® Platinum G-2000 and G-2030 are general purpose plasticizers with performance comparable to other ortho-phthalate general purpose plasticizers.
They offer good processing performance, excellent low temperature properties, and outstanding heat stability all while providing significant biobased content. Formulators can also combine Santicizer® Platinum G-2000 or G-2030 with one of Valtris’ Santicizer ortho-phthalate plasticizers, to create optimized solutions for their specific processing needs.
