Ligninium -furniture board replaces traditional fossil-based adhesives with natural lignin.
What is lignin?
Lignin is a naturally occurring biopolymer that serves as a structural component in the cell walls of plants, particularly trees such as pine, and protects them from environmental stresses. Alongside cellulose, it is a key component of plant material and one of the most abundant organic compounds in the world.
Lignin is primarily obtained as a by-product of the paper and pulp industry. Its phenolic groups make it suitable for producing adhesives and binders, replacing fossil-based components. Lignin-based products, such as adhesives and binders, reduce formaldehyde emissions and improve environmental sustainability as well as indoor air quality.
Modern refining techniques allow lignin to be tailored to meet industrial needs, for instance, in the production of composites and biopolymers. It is increasingly used as a binder in the manufacturing of furniture boards and other wood-based products, promoting more sustainable and environmentally friendly industries.
What is Ligninium?
Ligninium is designed as a more environmentally conscious alternative to traditional furniture boards. It is an innovative furniture board that utilizes lignin as a substitute for fossil-based binders. This makes Ligninium products more eco-friendly and low-emission. We continuously work to enhance the sustainability of Ligninium products.
Key features of Ligninium products include lignin-based surfaces, NAF-certified core boards (No Added Formaldehyde), and biodegradable adhesive.
Ligninium represents responsible development in the industry. Utilizing lignin reduces dependence on fossil raw materials and supports the use of bio-based products.
