About

VIOBOND has also demonstrated abrasive paper using its lignin-based thermosetting resin. In the resin formulation, lignin replaces part of the fossil-based phenol conventionally used in phenol-formaldehyde systems.

The sandpaper application shows that the bio-based resin can be used in an industrial abrasive product while maintaining the required performance. It extends the use of the VIOBOND resin beyond plywood overlays and interior laminates.

Key benefits

  • Reduces the use of fossil chemicals in materials
  • Lowers carbon footprint of industrial resins
  • Maintains or improves industrial performance standards
