ECOSE® Technology:
a step change in sustainability for binder technology
ECOSE® Technology is a revolutionary, new, formaldehyde-free binder technology, based on rapidly renewable materials instead of petro-based chemicals. It reduces embodied energy and delivers superior environmental sustainability.
ECOSE® Technology was developed for glass and rock mineral wool and this is now being rolled out successfully across Europe and North America, offering enhanced product performance combined with a step change in sustainability.
ECOSE® Technology offers a range of for following applications:
- Glass and rock mineral wool
- Wood based panels
- Other applications
By converting bio-based materials
into an inert polymer through a
proprietary process, ECOSE Technology is used to create an
exceptionally strong binder that not
only bonds mineral wool insulation
strands together but also many other
materials. This revolutionary
scientific discovery eliminates the
formaldehyde and phenols found in
traditional binders used in various
industrial processes.
- - Based on rapidly renewable resource
- - Bio-based formulation which does not contain - phenol, formaldehyde or acrylics
- - Reduced impact on environment through lower embodied energy in the binder
- - Reduced manufacturing emissions to the environment.
- - Improved indoor air quality (IAQ) in product-application
- - Lower investment in emission abatement equipment
- - Easier
manufacturing permitting

How does ECOSE® Technology work?
By
converting
bio-based
materials
into an
inert
polymer
through
a
proprietary
process,
ECOSE®
Technology
is used
to
create
an
exceptionally
strong
binder
that
bonds
mineral
wool
insulation
strands
together. This
revolutionary
scientific
discovery
eliminates
the
formaldehyde
and
phenols
found in
traditional
binders
used in
various
industrial
processes.
ECOSE®
Technology
is
protected
by a
number
of
global
patents.
Products
made
with
ECOSE®
Technology
are more
sustainable:
- as
they
have the
added
benefit
of using
a
binder,
which is
up to
70%
less
energy
intensive
than
traditional
binders.
With
ECOSE®
Technology,
rapidly-renewable
bio-based
materials
replace
the
traditional
chemicals;
- as
manufacturing
emissions
are
reduced;
- since
there is
no
formaldehyde
or
phenol
used
with
ECOSE®
Technology,
it
contributes
to
improved
indoor
air
quality
of
buildings.
