Joe McGrail

From 2000-2011, Joe was President of Octagon Process Inc. (now part of Clariant Corp), a global leader in the manufacturing and distribution of “Propylene Glycol” based aircraft wing and runway deicing fluids with a 47% market share at the time of his exit. From 1996 to 2000, Joe sold & distributed propylene glycol for Lyondell Chemical Co., formerly Arco Chemical Co. His dream and vision for founding Ayas Renewables continues today, and that is to bring a “biorenewable” propylene glycol-based airplane deicing fluid to market replacing current petrochemical based deicing fluids. Joe has a BA in History from the University of Delaware.
