Replacing fossil materials

Are you looking for new and sustainable materials to improve the environmental profile of your products? Reduction of CO₂ emissions and and avoidance of harmful polymers. Or even higher performance?

Ecohelix solution

Ecohelix WOODMER^® Disperse is bio-based, sustainable and renewable polymer. It is derived from pulp industry side stream by utilizing membrane filtration and enzymatic process to create completely new wood-based polymer with enhanced and controllable properties.

WOODMER^® Disperse comes in a water solution of 40w%. By having a well-defined and narrow molecular weight together with the negative charges of the polymer, it is possible to improve the separation of particles in suspension preventing their clumping and enhancing the solids loading.

Specific properties

• High charge density over wide pH range due to multi-functional groups
• Tunable molecular weight
• Good viscosity control

Sustainability

• Low CO₂ emissions, 0,582 kg CO₂eq/kg or -1,059 kg CO₂eq/kg with biogenic uptake (Ecohelix LCA Data GWP100 Value)
• 98% biobased content (Dincertco certificate nr. 8C243)

Application areas

WOODMER^® Disperse can replace fossil-based dispersants such as fluorocarbon polymers, polyacrylates, polyamide and stearates also proven effective for pigment dispersion making it useful polymer in various applications as dispersing resin or emulsifier in following products:

• Paints and inks
• Cleaning products
• Personal care products
• Construction materials
