Lignin coatings and adhesives applied to square samples

Work with us

Are you a coatings or adhesives manufacturer looking to source bio-based raw materials for your formulations? Colloidal lignin particles can replace bisphenol A and up to 50% of the fossil-based content in an epoxy formulation — at cost parity with the materials they replace.

FROM REFERENCE FORMULATIONS TO YOUR APPLICATION

Our R&D team has developed reference formulations for metal and concrete coatings, as well as wood and metal adhesives. These provide an easy entry point to further development of your specific formulation needs.

Our current R&D focus is epoxy systems, but we are open to other chemistries — including replacing synthetic phenolic compounds across a range of applications.

How to work with us

Evaluate

We send you material and the formulation guidance to work with it. You test it in your own system.

Co-develop

If you want to take it further, we work alongside your R&D team to adapt the particles to your formulation and process.

Scale

We supply LignoSpheres in volume. For potential production partners, the manufacturing technology is available under licence.

For more information, contact Eero Knuutila — eero.knuutila@lignosphere.fi
