Application

Today, people spend more than 90 percent of their lives indoors. On average, indoor air is five times more polluted than outdoor air. Adhesives like formaldehyde are invisible but present in many materials that surround us. The substance has been shown to be carcinogenic. It is a component of textiles, floor coverings, wall paints and many building materials such as pressed wood. We can find it in almost all private and public spaces. Building products and materials therefore have a major impact on people's health. 
We rely on bio-based proteins as a starting material for the development of a sustainable adhesive. In this way, we not only preserve the natural aspect of wood as a starting material, but also create a health- and environmentally friendly material for a closed cycle in the construction and furniture industry.
