GF Biochemicals

With GFBiochemicals we bring safer and more sustainable solutions to the CASE markets in Europe

Powering a cleaner future with safer solvents from nature’s waste

GFBiochemicals is a pioneer in delivering high-performing, sustainable alternatives to petrochemicals—at scale. Under its RE:CHEMISTRY brand, the company produces levulinate esters and ketals from second-generation raw materials such as agricultural by-products, including corncobs and bagasse (the dry fibrous residue from sugarcane or sorghum).
Levulinate-based solvents offer excellent solubility and represent a safer, biodegradable alternative to conventional fossil-based solvents. They also help reduce environmental impact.
For your formulation, this means a double benefit: a lower product carbon footprint that supports the reduction of Scope 3 emissions, and a low-concern classification that enhances your product’s safety profile.

Safer alternatives for harmful solvents

The partnership with GFBiochemicals enables us to offer innovative solvents that meet the needs of our customers in various industries and offer a safer alternative for harmful solvents.
