Eco-friendly & Bio-based chemical R&D

GS Caltex has continued to invest in biochemical research to nurture future growth engines. Thanks to these investments, we have made headway related to microorganism, fermentation, separation/purification and other related technologies.

Developing Eco-friendly BiochemicalsWe are currently operating a 2,3-Butanediol plant and continuing to discover market needs for Eco-friendly Biochemicals in cosmetics, personal care and agriculture sectors.

In addition, research is being conducted to develop biochemicals to respond to market demand for Eco-friendly Biochemicals. We will harness our biochemical and chemical synthesis technologies to make further advances in Eco-friendly technology research.

Biochemical product : 2,3-Butanediol

Eco-friendly product developed by GS Caltex

2,3-Butanediol is a natural substance found commonly in the natural surroundings such as fermented foods and living organisms. It has a superior moisturizing effect and can also serve as Preservative booster, dispersant, botanical extractant, anti-inflammatory agent and crop protection products. In turn, it is suited for various applications including cosmetics ingredients, crop protection agents, food additives, pharmaceutical additives and Eco-friendly solvent.

After 10 years of research that began in 2010, GS Caltex developed bioengineering technology that has enabled stable mass production of 2,3-Butanediol via fermentation. 2,3-Butanediol technology uses non-GMO feed and microorganisms (strains), and its separation and refining process is based only on physical properties (eg. boiling point), which together testifies to the ingredient's eco-friendly and harmless nature.2,3-Butanediol Cosmetic Grade : GreenDiol™

Product quality and scalability

2,3-Butanediol is registered with EU-REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation & Restriction of Chemicals). In addition, it has obtained COSMOS (COSMetic Organic and Natural Standard) certification, the USDA Certified 100% Biobased Product label, and vegan certification.
Prominent cosmetics companies around the world are launching products that contain 2,3-Butanediol . Demand for the product will likely increase with the growing interest in eco-friendly ingredients

Application

2,3-Butanediol has various applications in areas including cosmetics, food additives, agriculture and pharmaceuticals.
