HOUSTON – Orion S.A. (NYSE: OEC), a global specialty chemicals company, announced today it has launched PRINTEX® Nature 35 – a carbon black made of 100% bio-circular feedstocks.
The new product provides the same performance as Orion’s PRINTEX® 35 and can be used for a wide variety of printing applications, including food packaging, books, cataloges, brochures and other printed media.
“PRINTEX® Nature 35 is an excellent solution for the growing number of customers who want to increase the biogenic content of their ink formulations so that they can fulfill their sustainability targets,” said Thomas Weprich, director of marketing for Printing Systems at Orion “It is important to note that our bio-circular feedstocks are not used for human food or animal feed and therefore do not pose a risk to food security.”
The new product is produced at a plant in Western Europe with International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC PLUS), which verifies the traceability of sustainable raw materials in Orion’s value chain.
