bio-based cleaning booster
LignoBrite, an upcycled & bio-circular polymer

LignoBrite is an upcycled natural derived polymer from renewable lignin – designed to boost cleaning performance while supporting circularity and sustainability. Robust even under harsh formulation conditions, it offers a bio-based alternative to synthetic dispersants like polyacrylates.

Where LignoBrite Shines

  • Auto Dishwashing: Prevents filming and spotting on glassware and dishes – even in phosphate-free systems.
  • Laundry Detergents: Reduces redeposition and fabric greying, keeping clothes fresher for longer.
  • Hard Surface Cleaners: Enhances soil release and supports next-time cleanability, helping surfaces stay cleaner between uses.
  • I&I Cleaners: Reduces deposits and boosts soil dispersion in acidic and alkaline cleaners. 

Why Choose LignoBrite?

  • Replaces fossil-based dispersants with a 100% certified bio-based and bio-circular solution
    • Non-agricultural raw material grown and produced in Scandinavia
  • Enhances overall cleaning efficiency in ADW, laundry and hard surface cleaners
  • Demonstrates excellent stability across a wide pH range (1–13)
  • Compatible with enzymes, surfactants, caustics, and builders
  • Supported by LCA and EPD data for verified sustainability claims
