Our chemical platform finds it's origins in the conversion of hemicellulose to furfural. Furfural, a CO  neutral chemical is converted into furfuryl alcohol. This renewable alcohol is subsequently polymerized to polyfurfuryl alcohol (PFA or Poly-FA). Poly-FA is the basis of our thermoset resin systems: BioRez - Furolite.

​

Poly-FA is a liquid thermoset available in a wide range of viscosities and polymerization is mediated by acid catalysts or temperature. Curing yields a hard, rigid and highly crosslinked polymer with unique high temperature properties.

​

FuroliteTM and BioRezTM systems are VOC-free thermoset resin systems which are based on a Poly-FA backbone. Upon curing mediated by an acidic catalyst or heat these resins yield a rigid cross-linked macromolecular structure with high affinity for mineral or natural fibres. Furolite and BioRez find application in composites for construction industry, public transport, fire resistant material, automotive, rail, aerospace,...
