The letter of intent (LoI) captures the preliminary terms regarding the finalization of a detailed licensing polyols agreement towards the manufacturing and commercialization at Aether of the Converge technology and product series, the manufacturing process for which has been previously jointly developed and validated at commercial scale by Aramco and Aether.
The Converge platform represents a technology for the manufacture of more sustainable polyols containing up to 40% by weight carbon dioxide; these are a differentiated series of polyols that improve performance in CASE (coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers) applications while reducing the carbon footprint compared to industry standard polyols.

This initial commercialization is building on the momentum and Converge efforts to find performance enhancing and sustainable alternatives in the CASE industry.
