Borregaard’s lignin-based biopolymers are renewable wood-based alternatives to fossil-based chemicals and polymers used in a broad range of industries. Borregaard Biopolymers are REACH exempt and the products are not harmful and have a very low toxicity, especially at the low dosage in the described usages.
The sustainable lignin-based biopolymers offer a broad range of functionalities, including:
- Water-based undercoats/primers
- Top-Coats
- Pigment dispersion
- Milling aid
- Eco-friendly paints with biobased content
* UNIQUE ADVANTAGES:
- Sustainable 100% biobased alternative to dispersants like polyacrylate and polyphosphate
- Improves milling efficiency by reducing slurry viscosity
- Prevents pigment flocculation
- Highly effective and robust (pH, temperature, ionic strength)
- Performance in high strength and gloss
- Benefits in pigments with better, and stable color strength
- Biopolymers improve paint performance and bring cost savings
- Emulsion stabilizer
* TYPICAL PRODUCTS:
◊ Biopolymer B1 (Pionera DX5300): is a modified sodium lignin-based biopolymer. Pionera DX5300 is a brown, water-soluble powder.
◊ Biopolymer B2 (Pionera DX2000): is a highly modified sodium lignosulfonate derived from spruce (softwood). Pionera DX2000 is a brown, water-soluble powder.
◊ Biopolymer B3 (Pionera DX1400): is a highly modified sodium lignosulfonate. Pionera DX1400 is a dark brown, water-soluble powder.
