NeoLigno®: a promising bio-based alternative for fossil-based binding agents
At present, many building and construction products rely on the use of traditional formaldehyde-based chemistry to produce items such as wood panels, furniture, and insulation material. However, due to the European Chemicals Agency's classification of formaldehyde as carcinogenic, the potential risks and drawbacks of this technology have come under scrutiny. Regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, with some people even predicting a complete ban on formaldehyde in the near future. What if there were a binder that possessed all the technical qualities of traditional binders, but made completely out of biobased raw material and was free of formaldehyde.
