乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 to launch bio-based I-BOND庐 resins for composite wood products at LIGNA

Visit 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 at LIGNA 2025 at Booth B61 in Hall 26
Hannover Messe, Germany from 26-30 May 2025

Tienen, Belgium 鈥� 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站, one of the leading global companies in the development of polyurethane-based resins for the manufacture of composite wood products, will be exhibiting at LIGNA 2025 in May and will unveil two new bio-based products at the world鈥檚 leading trade fair for woodworking and wood processing technology.

Developed to reduce the carbon footprint of composite wood products by up to 30%*, the new binders incorporate up to 25% bio-based content, without compromising the quality or performance that can be achieved in resulting panels. 

I-BOND庐 PB BIO 1025 resin and I-BOND庐 OSB BIO 1025 resin have been developed for use in the manufacture of oriented strand board (OSB) and particleboard (PB), offering bio-based content solutions that support the industry鈥檚 sustainability ambitions. Closely aligned with market and customer requirements, the new products form part of a wider range of non-added formaldehyde fast-curing I-BOND庐 resins that 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 offers to enable the production of high quality, durable composite wood products.

Developed to offer similar quality characteristics and performance capabilities to standard    I-BOND庐 resins, while maximizing bio-based content, the new resins are capable to enable compatibility with existing manufacturing processes and can allow manufacturers to easily switch materials according to requirements. They can also help composite wood manufacturers meet panel specification requirements in terms of emission standards. 

Explaining more, Bart Singul茅, Sales Manager Composite Wood Products Europe, said: "At 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 we are always looking for innovative solutions that can help drive sustainability forward. With the launch of our bio-based resins for OSB and PB, we are helping panel producers maximize bio-based content in their boards 鈥� helping them to meet their sustainability ambitions without compromising the quality or performance of their products. These innovations are an essential step in helping the industry transition to more sustainable production methods and we look forward to discussing the benefits they can deliver with LIGNA attendees." 

Typical properties of 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站鈥檚 new bio-based resins include:

  • A reduced carbon footprint: Integrating bio-based content, and with attributed mass-balanced MDI options available, the resins can help contribute to a lower carbon footprint.
  • High performance: The resins can deliver the strength, durability, and moisture resistance needed for typical composite wood product applications in furniture and construction.
  • Aligned with emissions standards and containing non-added formaldehyde: The new resins can help create a safer, cleaner working environment for manufacturers and improve air quality for consumers.
  • Versatile: The new products are suitable for a wide range of composite wood applications, including furniture, cabinetry, flooring, and interior panelling.

At LIGNA, 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站鈥檚 theme will be 鈥業nspired by Nature, Breathing & Building Quality鈥�, highlighting the team鈥檚 focus on providing the market with innovative technologies to help drive a low carbon future.
