SWEDEN — Nynas has been awarded the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Certified Biobased Product label for its renewable transformer fluid.

As a global supplier of transformer fluids, Nynas has invested in research and development in order to meet both the changing needs of customers and the environment protection standards, and has launched a renewable transformer fluid.

In addition to being recognised for its ultra-low viscosity, allowing transformers and reactors to operate with better cooling, the bio fluid has also received the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Certified Biobased Product label, Nynas said in a press release.

This label displays the proportion of a product that comes from a renewable source, such as plant, animal, marine or forestry feedstocks.

“We are proud to provide our customers with a sustainable transformer liquid that accounts for 100% renewable content,” says Koen Kempeneer, Marketing Manager Electrical Industry at Nynas.

The launch of the renewable transformer fluid is an important step to contribute to sustainable development with a product that, despite its lower CO₂ footprint, offers the same high performance as Nynas’ other transformer oils, the manufacturer said in a press release.

“Biobased products, through petroleum displacement, have played an increasingly important role in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that exacerbate global climate change,” concludes Koen Kempeneer.
