Total Fluides will market a new line of renewable fluids for numerous applications such as paints and coatings, drilling fluids, solvents for emulsion polymerization, printing ink fluids, emollients for cosmetics and many others industrial and automotive fluids.

The bio-based solvents produced from NExBTL renewable isoalkane and processed using Total Fluides’ advanced technology are ideal for downstream use, as their premium quality means that no modifications need to be made to existing processes or production methods. The new agreement is an important step towards growing our foothold in the chemical industry, where the demand for renewable components is on the increase.

—Kaisa Hietala, Neste’s Executive Vice President, Renewable Products

Neste’s NExBTL renewable products have a comparable composition to that of their fossil equivalents and, due to Total Fluides’ advanced technology, they can be transformed into materials with unique properties.

Total Fluides will produce these new bio-based high-quality special fluids in its plant in France. Neste produces NExBTL products intended for chemical industry use at its renewable products refineries in the Netherlands, Singapore and Finland.
