CelluForce (Accelerator)

Company Description: Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) is a new advanced biomaterial produced from wood. Made of infinitely small cellulose crystals derived from trees, CNC is produced as a spray-dried powder or as a liquid suspension and can be used to improve product performance such as strength, impermeability, homogeneity and biodegradability in several applications (packaging, cosmetics, adhesives, paints, oil and gas, rubbers, polymers...). In the packaging field, CNC can provide high gas barrier when applied as a thin primer (1 micron) on various film substrates. As such, the film can still be considered mono-material for recycling purposes. CelluForce NCC® can be tuned to perform functions through hydroxyl and sulfate groups. Some of these functions include emulsifiers, lubricants, blockers, suspensions, strengtheners, and thickeners.
