GlycosBio’s renewable chemicals are drop in replacement monomers for markets and customers seeking alternative supply options and price stability. With an immediate focus on elastomers and the synthetic rubber industry, GlycosBio is working to relieve fundamental shortages in key building block materials while helping customers manage shifting consumer preferences, emerging regulatory challenges, escalating crude oil costs and changes in refining practices.
With our non-food renewable feedstock strategy and high performance microbial conversion platform, we are commercializing Bio-SIM™ (biologically produced Synthetic Isoprene Monomer), a central component of several polymers including Isoprene Rubber (IIR), Butyl Rubber (BR) and SIS block co-polymers.
GlycosBio’s product focus combined with the company’s technology and commercial approach offer the synthetic rubber industry enhanced security of supply and greater price predictability.
