The most unique product in the world

Birch outer bark suberinic acids binder for the production of harmless furniture, particle boards and plywood.

Product and technology

The suberinic acids binder is a natural, biological and innovative material obtained from birch outer bark. It has many unique properties, due to which the suberinic acids binder excellently replaces formaldehyde resins, soy flour-based and pMDI binders for use in the manufacture of furniture, particle boards and plywood.

Almost 10 years of research

High potential and new business opportunities

Environmental aspect: ecological material, less CO2 release

Excellent characteristics: moisture resistance, mechanical strength, etc.

Advantages of the suberinic acids binder

Environmentally friendly

The suberinic acids binder is a by-product obtained from renewable natural resources and is completely ecological.

Health friendly

The binder does not contain phenol-formaldehyde resins or other substances harmful to human health.

Efficiency

Much more expedient use of wood resources to obtain a widely used material.

Moisture resistance

Suberinic acids are hydrophobic substances, so they are suitable for use in moist outdoor conditions.

Innovative material

Innovation in the industry with new and simple manufacturing technology.

Good mechanical properties

Particle boards with the suberinic acids binder are characterized by high bending strength, strength of internal bonds and form stability.
