Fibenol products

LIGNOVA™ Pure has higher purity, functionality and reactivity as well as good solubility in many solvents. Compared to LIGNOVA™ Crude, the cellulosic residues have been removed, paving the way for more demanding applications. Lignin-based polyols for the polyurethane industry, carbon fibers, and specialty PF resins are just a few potential application areas for such a high purity material.

Our pretreatment process liberates most xylose present in wood in 20 seconds. With minimal processing we turn the sugars into concentrated syrup rich in xylose. Cellulosic ethanol, single cell protein, organic acids, fatty acids or alkenes for cosmetics are examples of possible fermentation-based products from the C5 sugars. C5 sugars can be also applied in producing biofuels.
