P2 Science, Inc. and ADM have executed a joint development agreement (JDA) directed toward the commercialization of an initial set of renewable plant-based products used in high value markets. This JDA follows the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between the companies in January of this year.
Developing Products for Cosmetics Market
The first products covered by the JDA include, but are not limited to, renewable terpene monomers and polymers, mid-chain fatty alcohols and acids, polyesters, polyamides, plasticizers and
surfactants. The major markets for these products include cosmetics, skincare, paints and coatings, automotive, construction, apparel, home, personal care & industrial cleaning (HPCI) and many others.
“
We are pleased that our collaboration with ADM has homed in so quickly on some key product and market areas, including developing advanced renewable alternatives to traditional silicone products,” said Neil Burns, CEO of P2 Science.

The strengthening and broadening of the terpene supply chain to support growth of Citropol® renewable liquid polymer products will help the company further penetrate the cosmetic and other markets for this platform.
ADM has a global portfolio of plant-based products including carbohydrates, vegetable oils and terpenes, as well as advanced processes and fermentation technology. P2 has complementary patented green chemistry process technologies, including PiOz® (Process Intensified Ozonolysis) and PiOx® (Process Intensified Oxidation) and PiCE (Process Intensified Continuous Etherification) that are used in the production of several P2 commercial offerings for the cosmetics, skincare and fragrance markets.
“
This agreement with P2 allows us to work with a truly innovative partner to bring new plant-based solutions to the marketplace that helps unlock nature and enrich lives. We are excited about this next phase of development as we advance our pipeline of plant-based products for our customers,” said Paul Bloom, ADM vice president, Sustainable Materials.
