About

The LIGNICOAT project developed coatings based on lignin-derived chemicals and resins as renewable alternatives to petrochemical components used in conventional coating formulations.

The coatings are designed to reduce reliance on fossil-based raw materials while maintaining the functionality required for surface protection. They also support a more sustainable use of lignin in higher-value material applications.

Key benefits

  • Uses lignin as a renewable coating ingredient
  • Reduces reliance on petrochemical coating components
  • Supports more sustainable coated materials

Application

  • Surface coatings
  • Construction materials
