Business Wire
Westlake Corporation (NYSE: WLK) announced today that Westlake
Epoxy plans to launch at JEC World, March 4 to 6, 2025, in Paris,
EpoVIVE™, an epoxy product portfolio offering a range of
sustainable characteristics across multiple products, which will
support customer sustainability initiatives. The EpoVIVE™ portfolio
of Epoxy phenolic, resins and curing agents, represents a
significant step forward in the commitment to drive sustainable
innovation and foster value-chain collaboration. EpoVIVE™ products
are developed with an environmentally conscious mindset.
The newly introduced EpoVIVE portfolio is distinguished by
sustainable benefits, as confirmed by Westlake Epoxy’s evaluation
according to industry-leading principles for measuring and
assessing sustainable characteristics of each product. Products in
the EpoVIVE portfolio provide sustainability advantages as compared
to traditional Westlake formulas in one or more of the following
categories:
- Lower Carbon Footprint: Utilize ISCC PLUS mass-balanced
renewable raw materials to reduce carbon emissions.
- Energy Efficiency: Combine renewable energy with
energy-efficient practices to reduce the carbon footprint.
- Safer Materials: Use of safer materials that are free
from SVHC (substances of very high concern) and CMR-(carcinogenic,
mutagenic and reprotoxic), improving safe handling.
- Emission Reductions: Achieve lower VOC (volatile organic
compounds) waterborne epoxy resin dispersions, contributing to the
reduction of emissions during customer applications.
- Circular Solutions: Support circularity with innovative
formulations and recycling processes that allow for the reuse,
recycling, or repurposing of products in the EpoVIVE™
portfolio.
“At Westlake, we view sustainability not just as a goal, but as
a responsibility. The introduction of our EpoVIVE product portfolio
reflects our commitment to developing products that not only meet
the highest standards of quality but also contribute to a healthier
planet. We are excited to lead the industry with innovative
solutions that drive positive environmental change,” said
Karl-Martin Schellerer, Senior Vice President Europe and Asia.
EvoVIVE products offer a range of benefits and are tailored for
diverse industries such as adhesives, aerospace, automotive, civil
engineering and construction, composites and wind energy,
electronics, electrical laminates, marine, and protective
coatings.
Westlake Corporation has long been committed to sustainability,
with initiatives aimed at reducing emissions, conserving resources,
and developing products with sustainability attributes. The
introduction of the EpoVIVE™ portfolio is aligned with our broader
goals to reduce carbon emissions and to continuously improve our
environmental footprint through operational innovations and
sustainable product offerings.
