Fibenol

Fibenol creates sustainable bio-based materials from wood residues, offering lignin and sugars as alternatives to petrochemical products.

Fibenol is a company focused on producing novel bio-based materials with a reduced environmental footprint.

They utilize advanced processes to convert wood residues into high-purity lignin and sugars, offering sustainable alternatives to petrochemical products.

Their flagship product, LIGNOVA™, is a lignin-based material that can replace fossil-based chemicals in various industrial applications. LIGNOVA™ Crude retains native lignin properties and is suitable for phenolic resin adhesives and thermoplastic materials, while LIGNOVA™ Pure offers higher purity for demanding applications like polyurethane and carbon fibers.

Fibenol also produces lignocellulosic sugars, including C5 and C6 sugars, derived from hardwood. These sugars serve as sustainable alternatives for biofuels and bulk chemical production, without competing with food resources.

Additionally, Fibenol offers specialty celluloses, such as microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), which can be used in reinforcement, barrier films, and adhesives. Their refined MCC is suitable for advanced applications requiring pure cellulose.

Fibenol's products cater to industries like biomaterials, biofuels, packaging, construction, and pharmaceuticals, emphasizing their commitment to sustainable and innovative solutions.
