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 EpoVIVEproduct 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.
