Neste Renewable Isoalkane™
As the world’s leading supplier of renewable oils, we have the capacity to enable the chemical industry to provide their customers with chemicals and plastics produced in large scale from renewable raw materials.
Neste Renewable Isoalkane oil offers a sustainable, safe, and odorless alternative to traditional mineral oils, and is ideal for a wide range of chemical applications from paints and coatings to lubricants.
Neste Renewable Isoalkane – sustainable to the core
As with Neste’s other renewable products, Neste Renewable Isoalkane offers premium quality, and thanks to its renewable origin helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while being biodegradable in accordance with OECD 301.
Neste Renewable Isoalkane is produced using Neste’s proprietary NEXBTL technology, a hydrotreatment process that can convert natural oils, such as vegetable oil and a range of industrial waste and residues, into high-purity isoparaffinic hydrocarbon oils with a low sulphur and aromatic content. All renewable raw materials used in producing Neste Renewable Isoalkane are sustainably produced.
