bio-based cleaning booster
LignoBrite, an upcycled & bio-circular polymer
LignoBrite is an upcycled natural polymer derived 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.
