GLICYDOL is a new process for the production of glycidol that solves current market problems with innovative features:
- It only consists of two stages.
- Intermediates lack this toxicity/hazard.
- The raw material is renewable.
PROBLEM/OPPORTUNITY
Today, there are two processes for industrial production of glycidol, with several associated disadvantages: the process consists of several stages, through different intermediates with high toxicity and/or hazards, the original raw material is non-renewable and consequently has a high price.
