Renewable feedstocks.Built for more.
It starts with renewable raw materials — chosen for what their chemistry can become.
Chemistry
Renewable feedstocks.
Engineered into performance.
GCP transforms renewable feedstocks into advanced chemistry platforms designed for demanding industrial applications.
From cashew-derived chemistry to an expanding oleochemical platform.
Chemistry in motion
We unlockthe chemistry.
Extraction and distillation open up the reactive building blocks held inside the feedstock.
Chemistry,shaped by purpose.
Those building blocks are engineered into distinct chemistry families, each tuned to a demand.
From cashew chemistryto oleochemistry.
The same discipline now extends beyond CNSL into a broader renewable oleochemical platform.
Chemistrybecomes performance.
The result is measurable industrial performance across demanding downstream applications.
Our chemistry
Established chemistry.
Expanding possibilities.
A growing portfolio built on renewable feedstocks, technical expertise and industrial performance.
Oleochemical platform
Expanding the
chemistry platform.
GCP is extending its renewable chemistry expertise into a broader oleochemical platform designed to accommodate new feedstocks, chemistry families and downstream derivatives.
Foundation
Cashew-derivedchemistry
GCP's established CNSL and Cardanol chemistry — the technical foundation everything builds on.
Expansion
Soya-derivedoleochemicals
DFA (Distilled Soya Fatty Acid) extends that expertise into renewable oleochemistry.
Future potential
Future renewablechemistry
A platform designed to accommodate further renewable feedstocks, chemistry families and downstream derivatives over time.
The platform is designed to accommodate — over time
- Fatty acids
- Esters
- Amines
- Specialty derivatives
Platform capability, not a statement of current commercial availability.
New oleochemical vertical
DFA
Distilled Soya Fatty Acid.
A soya-derived fatty acid platform expanding GCP’s renewable chemistry portfolio into a broad range of industrial and downstream oleochemical applications.
Plant trials completed successfully.
Manufacturing commenced.
Application universe
One chemistry.
Multiple possibilities.
These are potential industrial application areas for DFA chemistry — mapping where the platform can create value. They do not imply GCP commercially serves every application today; where validation is required, it is noted.
