Biofibers for Plastic Compounds

ARBOCEL® B 600 by JRS Rettenmaier is a powdered, white and pure cellulose fiber. The average fiber length is around 60 µm. It is suitable for diverse polymer applications as functional filler. It is also used as a thickener, for fiber reinforcement, as an absorbent and diluent or as a carrier.

Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) by Celluforce is a uniform and re-dispersible natural nanoparticle obtained from the crystalline regions of cellulose fibers. It is composed of crystallites. It is non-toxic, renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable. Has a measured surface area of ~500 m²/g allowing for high reactivity. Improves strength and toughness. It can reduce damage caused by wear, humidity, and spectral radiation. Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) imparts impact and abrasion resistance to materials. Nanocrystalline cellulose is used in advanced or intelligent packaging, high-strength spun fibers, textiles, reinforced polymers, innovative bioplastics, advanced reinforced composite materials, recyclable interior, structural components for the transportation industry, aerospace, transportation structures, iridescent, protective films, films for optical switching, and electronic paper printers.

ARBOCEL® B 800 by JRS Rettenmaier is a powdered, white and pure cellulose fiber. The average fiber length is around 130 µm. it is suitable for diverse polymer applications as functional filler. It is also used as a thickener, for fiber reinforcement, as an absorbent and diluent or as a carrier.

KC FLOCK® W-50GK distributed by Toyotsu Chemiplas and manufactured by Nippon Paper is a filler based on fine powdered cellulose fiber. It possesses non-abrasive nature and low ash content. It is designed for various types of recycled and biodegradable plastics as well as artificial & synthetic leathers.

• It can also stabilize three-dimensional structure of rubber, preventing its shrinkage deformation and effectively reducing the total weight of final product.
• KC FLOCK® W-50GK offers hygroscopic properties and allows uniform air bubble formation to produce a smooth & homogeneous foam product.

KC FLOCK® W-100GK distributed by Toyotsu Chemiplas and manufactured by Nippon Paper is a filler based on fine powdered cellulose fiber. It is non-abrasive with low ash content. It is suitable for artificial & synthetic leathers as well as various types of recycled and biodegradable plastics.

• KC FLOCK® W-100GK can also stabilize three-dimensional structure of rubber, preventing its shrinkage deformation and effectively reducing the total weight of final product.
• It provides hygroscopic properties and allows uniform air bubble formation to produce a smooth & homogeneous foam product.

PuriCel® by Finite Fiber is a 100% natural, high purity, renewable cellulose fiber and filler. It is a lightweight, low ash, neutral pH, non-abrasive, non-toxic, biodegradable, organic and sustainable absorption material. It enhances the dimensional stability of rubber and plastics by forming a three-dimensional matrix inside the product.

• It provides green strength and structure throughout the processing phase.
• It offers reliable reinforcement, impact strength and lower density while reducing costs in plastic composite applications.
• PuriCel® is suitable for adhesive formulations such as acrylic, butyl, epoxy and latex.
