FunCell

TECHNOLOGY FunCell Technology is bio inspired and use biosourced macromolecules to enhance cellulose-cellulose interactions in wet conditions. These additives show a high degree of performance up to 60 % in wet/dry ratio; with a wide range of properties and solutions for all kind of cellulosic materials. The high reactivity of the product also allows a further functionalization in aqueous medium to provide on demand functionalities to the final product. APPLICATIONS FunCell propose additives that are suitable for all kind of cellulosic materials. They offer sustainable solutions for paper and boards, for all kinds of fibres and pulps. They are also efficient binders for nonwoven cellulosic materials. ADVANTAGES FunCell additives will provide you a wide range of possibilities in terms of performance and added values, as they require no specific process: you can add directly the product to the pulp suspension, and it doesn’t need any activation or curing step. The high flexibility of these additives made them available for all kind of cellulosic materials and/or fibres. Their biosourced nature provides low toxicity and biodegradability. ABOUT US FunCell is a pre-incubation company launched from an academic laboratory, the CEntre de Recherche sur les MAcromolecules Végétales (Cermav, CNRS) in Grenoble, France. Our team is involved in the study of polysaccharides, their organization and their applicative potential for new materials, from fundamental problematics to industrial partnerships. Our skills and knowledge in chemistry and physico-chemistry of these polymers enables a unique know-how in formulation and production, which allows us to propose custom-made solutions for the development and optimization of cellulosic materials. Therefore FunCell use this expertise to provide you additives and on-demand solutions for wet strength reinforcement and functionalization to nonwoven, paper and boards industry.
