Webinar series - sustainability with Exilva

Sustainability has become the biggest priority of businesses and consumers alike, also in our world of Coatings & Construction. Producers are now challenged in finding sustainable alternatives to petrochemical raw materials, and this can often be a challenge. Not anymore with Borregaard’s Exilva!

Exilva is Borregaard’s innovative new bio-based additive within the field of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), which not only offers rheology modification but multiple other performance and application advantages. This is a material that demonstrates high efficacy and robustness in harsh environments. On top of that, Exilva is made from 100% natural raw materials, sustainably sourced from Scandinavian forests. It is the best additive alternative to improve your product’s sustainability profile.

To show you all about this brand new bio-based alternative, Borregaard & Azelis kindly invite you for their new webinar series (register here or scroll down!)
