About Our Business
We do right by humans and the planet.
Mission
We turn agricultural (crop) waste into bio-based chemicals and polymers for the production of sustainable end-use materials with a high bio-content and a low carbon footprint.

Furfuryl alcohol and our furfuryl alcohol resins are used in heavy industries such as foundry, refractory and anti-corrosion.

Our chemical platform finds it's origins in the conversion of hemicellulose to furfural. Furfural, a CO2 neutral chemical is converted into furfuryl alcohol.
Furfuryl alcohol resins
01
Furfural has an aromatic odour reminiscent of almonds. This biomass-based chemical is a heteroaromatic aldehyde with exceptional physical properties. The main application is a raw material to manufacture Furfuryl Alcohol, other applicaions include the use as a solvent or intermediate.
