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.
