FortressAB’s Poly-ALLTM bio-glycol technology transforms plant-based sugars into mono-ethylene glycol (MEG) and propylene glycol (MPG). Bio-glycols produced from our process are molecularly identical to those produced from petroleum sources and ideal alternatives for the production of composites and recycling of fossil fuel derived products.
Poly-ALLTM Bio-MEG
MEG is ubiquitous in our day to day lives—being used in the production of polyester fibers and PET plastic bottles. Globally, MEG is a $25B market almost exclusively derived from fossil fuels. FortressAB’s Poly-ALLTM Bio-MEG is created from sustainably managed Canadian forests and other biomasses, reducing our reliance on petroleum resources.
Poly-ALLTM Bio-PG
Propylene glycol (PG) is predominantly used in the production of unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) – which are used for manufacturing plastics and other composite materials. Due to its low toxicity PG is often used in the pharmaceutical and food industries as well as a de-icing fluid. FortressAB’s Poly-ALLTM Bio-PG is a sugar-based alternative to PG derived from fossil fuels.
