BioWet is a new additive for cellulosic materials
Its first application is in the paper industry where it brings exceptional mechanical strength to the treated paper both at wet state and at dry state. BioWet is fully biobased, biodegradable and doesn’t hinder recyclability of paper or carton boxes. Its mode of action is mimicking (and improving) what nature is doing in plants: the cellulose fibers are becoming much stronger both in dry state and wet state. No change are required on the paper machine.

Sustainability is no longer an option and using oil based additives is becoming a real issue in the paper industry, which is actively seeking alternative solutions to move to greener and more responsible products by using the latest technological innovations in their field.
Single use plastic packaging are no longer acceptable and will be banned as soon as alternative solutions are available. This is a huge opportunity for the paper industry which seeks to offer innovative recyclable cellulosic packaging as an alternative to plastic.
FunCell is here to help the paper industry address the challenge.
BioWet
Our unique expertise can help your own innovation : we provide technical advice and industrial research services in the field of chemistry and cellulosic products.
We are using a natural polymer extracted from biomass. The process used to slightly modify this polymer is a green chemistry process.
Everything being natural, the additive is fully non-toxic ! We are in the process of getting the food contact approval.
This is the beauty of our additives. They are both increasing the mechanical properties of the treated paper and at the same time they do not hinder biodegradability.
A paper treated with BioWet can be repulped to make new paper.
Biowet is introduced in the paper machine at the same place where other additives are added. No change needed.
