Tony Starch, a division of Rodenburg, is realising a pilot plant to test and produce Di-aldehyde starch (DAS), a platform molecule derived from starch. This molecule cannot only replace fossil-based chemicals, it also forms an alternative to chemicals that are non-biodegradable. With many applications described in literature, DAS has the potential to shape the world of tomorrow. From use in the leather and paper market, to utilisation in coatings or super absorbers, to the use of DAS in controlled release fertilizer coatings: the options are endless! Together with our partners we source, engineer, produce, and provide smart and sustainable green chemistry solutions on scale.
