CelluForce has restarted operations at its Cellulose NanoCrystals (CNC) plant following the completion of a major upgrade project. With a production capacity of 300 tonnes per year, this modernized plant will help meet the growing demand for CNC and serve as a blueprint for the design of future CelluForce plants.
“In the past two years our research work with industrial customers has confirmed the wide range of possible applications for CNC. It has also confirmed their growing interest for this new biomaterial. Without exception, these companies now seek to improve product performance and reduce their environmental footprint, two areas where CNC can make a significant difference,” explained Sébastien Corbeil, President and CEO of CelluForce. “This research has also had the effect of depleting the CNC inventory. The plant upgrade and restart are very timely so we can rebuild our inventory and continue to develop various industrial applications. It will also allow us to maintain our innovative leadership role in the industry.”
Several international industrial customers are currently waiting for this new production of CNC to continue developing their applications.
CelluForce is the world leader in the development and production of Cellulose NanoCrystals (CNC), an advanced biomaterial extracted from wood.
