CelluForce restarts production of Cellulose Nanocrystals
CelluForce has restarted operations at its Cellulose
NanoCrystals (CNC) plant following the completion of a major upgrade project. The
production capacity of this plant will be 300 tonnes per year, designed for
improvement in efficiency by over 50% and produce various grades of product
required by some customers.
Known as an advanced biomaterial, CNC consists of
infinitely small cellulose crystals that are extracted from wood and processed
into a powder or a liquid suspension. CNC has several intrinsic and exceptional
properties such as strength, suspension, lubrication and impermeability.
