AkzoNobel acquires Zeta Fraction technology: non-solvent biomass harvesting

In Holland, AkzoNobel has acquired Integrated Botanical Technologies patented Zeta Fraction technology, which makes it possible to harvest and separate constituent parts of a living cell from any plant or marine source without requiring any solvents.

An Amsterdam based producer of paints, coatings, and specialty chemicals, the Zeta Fraction platform will be used by the personal care business, however, Rob Frohn, an AkzoNobel Executive Committee member states, “… we also believe that this technology can be used across several AkzoNobel businesses.”
