Natural Fibers

Low-emission Acrodur^®binders for natural fibers are an alternative to formaldehyde-based resins. Composite materials made with Acrodur^® and natural materials like hemp fibers, kenaf fibers or flax fibers offer several advantages to the automotive and construction industries:

They are lightweight and of high mechanical stability.
They are formable in thermoset or thermoplastic processes opening new design opportunities.
