Neste Renewable Isoalkane to be used for Avantherm’s renewable products for transferring heat and cold
29 April 2016
Avantherm, a Swedish company specializing in heat transfer media products, has started using Neste Renewable Isoalkane to produce the next generation, high-performance and more environmentally friendly heat transfer media. Avantherm thus becomes one of the first companies to market Heat Transfer Media produced from renewable raw materials.
Neste Renewable Isoalkane is one of the outputs of the company’s proprietary NEXBTL technology at its refineries in Singapore, The Netherlands and Finland.
The chemical composition of Neste Renewable Isoalkane is comparable to the fossil equivalents, but it outperforms conventional fossil based products in terms of quality, performance and environmental impact. Due to its fossil-product-like chemical composition, it can be used exactly as its fossil equivalents.
Avantherm’s first line of products are Heat Transfer Medias, among them a coolant to replace glycol. Soon transformer oil and release fluids will be launched, and development is progressing with several more products. Our products will not only reduce the environmental impacts but also are of a premium quality. They are sustainable and biodegradable, and also have a low sulfur and aromatic content, which is a specific concern to sensitive environments such as forestry and agriculture.
—Stefan Dufva, CEO of Avantherm
Neste Renewable Isoalkane is sold as-is to customers directly and to partners that further process and market isoalkane-derived products according to industry needs. These partners are Haltermann Carless Solutions and Total Fluides.
