General information
- Short Summary
- Biodegradable adhesives, made from natural materials like plant-based polymers and proteins, offer a sustainable alternative to synthetic adhesives. Free from harmful chemicals, they break down without polluting the environment and are often compostable. The technology owner seeks R&I partnerships with companies needing eco-friendly adhesive solutions.
- Full Description
-
This patented technology offers an environmentally friendly, biodegradable adhesive that addresses the environmental challenges posed by traditional, fossil-fuel-based adhesives. Made from natural materials like plant-based polymers, this bio-adhesive is designed to break down naturally, with up to 98% of it biodegrading within just 30 days. It is safe for the environment, as it does not release harmful chemicals, and can easily be separated from surfaces using water.
This adhesive can be applied to various materials, such as paper, leather, foam, and wood, making it versatile for many uses.
Key features of this biodegradable adhesive include:
• Fast Biodegradation: Breaks down in just 30 days, with a 99% decomposition rate.
• Natural Ingredients: Made with 90% bio-based carbon content, derived from natural sources.
• Water-Removable: Can be easily separated from surfaces using water.
• Eco-Friendly and Safe: Non-toxic, safe for the environment, and does not pollute.
• Wide Temperature Range: Functions well in temperatures between -4°C and 80°C.
This innovative adhesive is a sustainable, eco-conscious solution for a wide range of industries, providing an alternative that is both effective and kind to the planet. - Advantages and Innovations
