Discover the power of Lignetics Wood Flour Concentrate, a sustainable and biodegradable filler crafted for both rigid and semi-rigid polymer composites. With the highest bio-content available, our concentrates offer an affordable and eco-friendly way to decrease the environmental impact of your products and achieve your sustainability goals.
Like conventional Wood Flour, our Concentrate delivers a variety of benefits compared to other commonly used mineral and bio-fillers as well as traditional fossil fuel-based polymers. Compared to most mineral fillers like calcium carbonate and talc, Wood Flour concentrate is lighter weight and, most importantly, a renewable material that can aid in achieving sustainability goals. These benefits are also present versus polymers in addition to being more cost-competitive. Lastly, Wood Flour Concentrate is typically less damaging to equipment than conventional wood flour and other bio-fillers.
As a result of its ready dispersibility, our Wood Flour concentrate delivers enhanced strength and rigidity of the final material while also lowering weight and reducing cost (please refer to our material comparison chart for more details). Regarding processing, our Concentrate provides a clean, safe, and easy-to-convey format compatible with conventional compounding systems. Further, due to the high wood flour content (over 90%), our concentrate bio-filler enables high bio-content incorporation levels while maintaining high throughput.
Wood Flour concentrate typically delivers an improved total cost of production versus other bio-fillers and fossil fuel-based polymers. Also, Wood Flour Concentrate on a cost-per-pound basis can often be a fraction of the cost of biopolymers. Compared to mineral fillers, our Concentrate’s lighter weight and lower density can translate into substantial cost savings tied to shipping.
Yes, beyond the performance and cost benefits, one of the biggest advantages of using Wood Flour Concentrate as a filler is the sustainability aspect of the Wood Flour Concentrate. Unlike minerals and fossil fuels, which are mined, our Wood Flour Concentrate is derived from residual materials produced in the lumber and wood products industries. For more details regarding the sustainability of our products, please contact us for more information or a life cycle assessment.
No, one of the great advantages of integrating Lignetics Wood Flour Concentrate into your compounding or converting processes is that the material can be used with your existing equipment with no additional setup or maintenance. Wood Flour Concentrate is also less damaging to equipment than other bio fillers. Thus, the transition from your current materials to integrating Lignetics Wood Flour Concentrate, from an equipment standpoint, is quite easy.
Yes, Lignetics has a fully functioning test lab staffed with technical experts. Lignetics also has a broad vertically integrated network of processing facilities that can be used for testing and trialing during development.
Yes, Lignetics is a national leader in the processing of wood and manufacturing of wood Concentrate with a significant network or processing facilities across the country. This network makes Lignetics a market leader in Wood Flour and Wood Flour Concentrate production capacity and capability.
Bio-plastics offer a substantially greener alternative to traditional plastics. Made from renewable resources like our wood flour pellets, bio-plastics offer a more sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics. With 32% of global plastic waste ending up in oceans or landfills, bio-based materials are designed for easier breakdown, helping address the growing waste challenge.
