Covation Biomaterials Unveils BioPTMEG

On April 14, 2025, Covation Biomaterials LLC, also known as CovationBio, proudly introduced its latest advancement in sustainable materials at Chinaplas 2025 held in Shenzhen, China. This new product, CovationBio® bioPTMEG, is an innovative and sustainable version of polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG) that significantly reduces environmental impact while offering high-performance characteristics.

What is BioPTMEG?

BioPTMEG is designed to serve as a bio-based alternative to traditional petroleum-derived PTMEG. This new biomaterial aims to help industries decrease their reliance on non-renewable resources while maintaining the necessary durability and resilience in high-performance applications such as spandex, polyurethanes, and thermoplastic elastomers.

Sustainability Benefits

CovationBio's bioPTMEG comes with several superior sustainability features:

• - Significant Reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Compared to fossil fuels, BioPTMEG offers a drastically lower carbon footprint.
• - 100% Bio-based Composition: Sourced entirely from renewable resources ensures that the product is sustainable.
• - Use of Non-competitive Raw Materials: The manufacturing process utilizes materials like corncobs, which do not compete with primary food sources.
• - Lower Dependence on Non-renewable Fossil Fuels: This new material encourages a shift towards a more sustainable future in manufacturing.

The integration of BioPTMEG into existing production processes promises a seamless transition to bio-based raw materials without necessitating major alterations to current manufacturing methods.

Vision for a Sustainable Future

Mr. Feifeng You, president of CovationBio, articulated the company's mission: “As a natural force, CovationBio envisions creating a sustainable and decarbonized materials industry. We are proud to launch BioPTMEG, which utilizes carbon absorbed by plants to develop materials, thereby enhancing quality of life. Our goal is to scale production to decrease carbon footprints and to ensure responsibility towards future generations.” He also emphasized the importance of continuous innovation and collaboration to build a greener, cleaner, and more prosperous world.

The construction of CovationBio's factory in Qidong, Jiangsu province, is expected to be mechanically completed by the end of 2025, with commercial production slated to commence in early 2026.
