Lignin-based concrete plasticizer technology LigniOx to be scaled-up
LigniOx technology developed by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland converts lignin by-products from pulp mills and other biorefineries into concrete plasticizers that can compete with the synthetic and lignosulphonate-based admixtures on the market. The technology will be scaled-up, and the lignin-based concrete admixtures will be developed with industrial partners in the LigniOx project, a Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking project operating under EU’s Horizon 2020. Cooperation enables the commercial-scale production and market entry of first products within a few years.
