Borregaard's Exilva® Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) is a 100% bio-based and infinitely sustainable, multifunctional low shear thickener with minimal impact on mid and high shear.
The bio-based problem solver
Exilva can help customers solve typical technical challenges related to formulating waterborne coatings and replace current synthetic additives to reduce the CO2 footprint and increase bio-based content in their products. These challenges include:
- Mud-cracking
- Sedimentation
- Settling
- Syneresis
- Sag & Levelling
- Low strength
- Low shear viscosity
In addition to the technical benefits, Exilva enables to increase the commercial and competitive value of the coatings by impacting the applicability, drying and final properties of the coating. By applying Exilva into the formulation, one can apply one thick layer instead of two layers, without any fear of sagging, mud cracking nor slow drying. This can be turned into higher productivity and savings in manpower.
