Our lignin filter media is designed to reduce your product’s carbon footprint. This cellulose filter media is saturated with an eco-friendly lignin-based resin, ensuring that your filter element offers best performance, while taking a step into more sustainable filtration solutions.
But what is lignin?
Lignin is a complex organic polymer that serves as a critical structural component of plants, particularly in the cell walls of wood and bark. It is responsible for providing rigidity, strength, and resistance to decay, enabling plants to stand tall and transport water efficiently through their vascular systems.
It is primarily sourced as a by-product in the processing of wood into paper or biofuel.
Why is lignin used in filter media?
In its form as a polymer, lignin provides stiffness, strength and rot resistance, making it the perfect, sustainable alternative to phenolic resins in the saturation of cellulose media.
The lignin has no negative influence on the properties of the cellulose media nor on the other saturation properties and can therefore directly replace phenolic resins. The adjusted resin formulation achieves the same filtration performance and durability as with phenolic resins.
