There would appear to be a link between Chemtan and Itaconix as regards BIO*AsterixTM as has been highlighted earlier this month, but what is the arrangement?
According to Importgenius the were 3 deliveries of Itaconic acid made to Chemtan 20Tonnes of which were for Chemtan and 60Tonnes were for ITX.

Looking on the map there would appear to be 15/20Km between the two companies, so probably makes sense to have one delivery point, but the raw Itaconic acid would be of no use to Chemtan? It would need to be converted into the BIO*AsterixTM ingredient?
So what is the connection?
Chemtan’s annual Showline of 2023 introduces the GREENTAN® registered product range which is being used for Beam & Tan advancements. Noteworthy is a 50% reduction in sodium chloride, and sodium sulfite through the use of enzymes, and with 75% lower ammonia though alternative deliming. The main tannage can now be heavy metal free.
In the retan phase following our GREENTAN® approach in Beam & Tan we have developed waterproof /water resistant leathers, both light and medium weights for Linings, Gloves, Children’s shoes, and Shoe upper.
Today, we market and sell our products worldwide into 33 plus countries. Our products can be found in all kinds of leather goods, shoes and boots sold by all the major brands. Timberland, Wolverine, Vanity Fair, and even Louis Vuitton.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated
