Fibrilva MFC enhances rheological stability in adhesive formulations, increases bond strength, and helps reduce formaldehyde emissions. Its thixotropic effect provides sag control in vertical applications. Cellulose fibers contribute mechanical reinforcement to the adhesive matrix through fiber bridging, reducing crack formation during drying and improving bond strength.
It improves both application ease and final performance in wood, paper, packaging, textile, and industrial adhesive systems.
