About Celluforce

CelluForce was established in 2010 and is headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It produces cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), marketed as CelluRods®. Used in paints and coatings to improve scratch resistance, hardness, and toughness. Their bio-sourced barrier coating, CelluShield™, enhances recyclability and oxygen resistance in packaging. CelluForce emphasizes sustainability through biodegradable materials, low carbon footprint, and PEFC-certified wood sourcing. The company supports eco-friendly innovation and integration into high-performance formulations.

Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC)

Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC). It is extracted from the wood fibers of Canada’s vast forests. It is a uniform, redispersible natural nanoparticle obtained from the crystalline regions of cellulose fibers. NCC is composed of crystallites with average dimensions of 100nm length and 5nm diameter. NCC is tested to be practically non-toxic, renewable, recyclable and biodgradable. Has a measured surface area of ~500 m<sup>2</sup>/g allowing for high reactivity. Improves the strength, toughness and can reduce damage caused by wear, humidity as well as spectral radiation. Can impart impact and abrasion resistance to materials. Used in coatings, paints, lacquers and inks.
