We are building the world’s best adipic acid company

Our technology goes beyond simply offering a “greener” alternative. We’ve engineered a process that significantly outperforms traditional methods in several crucial ways:
Reduced Environmental Impact: Our process reduces carbon emissions by over 90% compared to conventional fossil fuel-based production, marking a significant step towards a carbon-neutral future for the nylon industry.
Uncompromising Quality: Our proprietary catalyst technology ensures exceptional product purity and performance, meeting the highest standards of the textile, automotive, and electronics industries.
Cost-Effectiveness: By optimizing efficiency and minimizing waste, we deliver high-quality adipic acid at a competitive price, making sustainable choices economically viable for manufacturers.
100% Domestic Supply Chain: We are committed to supporting local economies and ensuring the reliability and traceability of our products through a fully domestic supply chain.
