Microfibrillated Cellulose (MFC) is a completely natural, renewable, and biodegradable material obtained by mechanically and/or chemically breaking down naturally abundant cellulose into microfibril structures.
How Is It Produced?
Cellulose fibers are subjected to high shear forces and transformed into a microscopically frayed structure. This structure consists of fine fibril bundles formed by peeling off the outer layers of the fibers. The resulting microfibrils offer unique properties with their high surface area and mesh-like structure.
Why MFC?
MFC stands out as both a performance-enhancing and sustainable additive in many industries such as chemicals, construction, cosmetics, paints, adhesives, and paper, thanks to its eco-friendly production profile.
As a sustainable alternative to fossil‑based polymers, MFC is biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) adds value across industries with its gelling, thickening, and stabilization capabilities.
One gram of microfibril cellulose can cover a large surface (a tennis court) and provides homogeneity to formulations with its superior dispersion properties.
Fibrilva's production and use are advantageous in terms of environmental sustainability. It supports green production goals by reducing carbon emissions.
