Discover Application

Phenolic Resins & Polyols

Phenolic resins are valued for their high thermal stability and durability, making them suitable for applications such as circuit boards, electrical components, insulation materials, brake pads, and clutch systems. Polyols are key building blocks for polyurethane materials and are widely used in foams, coatings, adhesives, and other high-performance polymer applications.

Flavors &
Fragrances

Bio-based aromatics such as vanillin and guaiacol can be derived from lignin and used as valuable ingredients in flavors and fragrances, serving markets such as food & beverages, perfumery, cosmetics, and personal care.

Fine &
Specialty Chemicals

Aromatic platform chemicals serve as versatile building blocks for fine and specialty chemical applications. They can be further converted into functional additives, specialty coatings, resins, electronic materials, and tailored chemical intermediates for high-performance industrial applications.
