Sustainable Innovations Spotlight: Susterra® Propanediol
March 19, 2026

Susterra® propanediol is a high-purity, 100% plant-based, petroleum-free diol produced via fermentation of glucose from sustainably grown corn. It contains no added preservatives, petroleum-based ingredients, or animal by-products.

Compared to traditional petrochemical options like 1,4-butanediol (BDO), Susterra® can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 48%. It is 100% bio-based, USDA BioPreferred® certified, non-toxic, and food safe.

Susterra® is used as a key ingredient and bio-solvent in polyurethanes, polyester resins, polymers, coatings, and functional fluids.

Through the partnership between Keyser & Mackay and Primient Covation, this bio-based solution is available across Europe, supporting customers in developing more sustainable products.
