LIGNIN PRODUCTS

The SHIELD improves the strength and moisture resistance properties of the paper board:

• In ambient and tropical high moisture environments (up to 80% more strength @90% humidity)
• Provides industry-standard hydrophobicity (Cobb60 <30)
• Compliance with food contact regulations
• Can be coupled with bio-based gas and grease barrier solutions

SHIELD-treated paper and cardboard products have superior characteristics:

• Strength increase of ready-made cardboard boxes (up to 20%)
• Recyclable, repulpable, printable, biodegradable & petroleum-free

Processes using SHIELD are more cost-effective:

• SHIELD creates value and savings – a great value proposition for all stakeholders!
• Enables Lightweight products: Up to 30% reduction of fiber without the loss of strength properties
• Elimination of all oil-based chemicals, plastics, and most other strength aids

METNIN RESIN formulations are great at replacing phenol in thermosetting and phenolic resins. Furthermore, the use of METNIN can reduce or even eliminate the need for formaldehyde and allow for fully bio-based solutions.

Typical applications include adhesives, laminates, and composites.

Also, METNIN RESIN is a good replacement for expensive synthetic polymers and – unlike typical lignin – provides good compatibility in rubber and elastomer matrix.

METNIN has finally enabled lignin as an affordable yet highly compatible crosslinking agent and chain extender for polymer chemistry. There is a myriad of applications from rigid and flexible foams to adhesives and coatings.

The low-energy combination of biology and innovative chemistry provides for over 50% bio-based content allowing for a complete offset of the GHG emissions of e.g., insulation foams.

Regardless of the raw material, all parameters can be tailored and adjusted to customer-specific requirements. Additionally to the drop-in formulations, MetGen can also deliver refined lignin fractions – MICRO, ULTRA, & NANO – with end-user-specific characteristics (including but not limited to: pH, molecular weight, dry, solubility, viscosity, particle size, purity, etc.)
