Products & Service Portfolio
greenchemtrade is specialized in business-to-business trading and R&D consulting of specialty products for the markets of bio-based polymers and fibers and their use in composite materials.
High-performance Fibers
High-performance fibers stand out by their mechanical and phyisical properties. Due to our wide network we are able to provide you with carbon fiber, PAN precursor fibres, cellulose fibers and fabrics. Tailored for your research and development purposes. Quantities can range from some grams for lab applications to kT industrial scale.
Bio-based & Natural Fibers
Natural and bio-based fibres offer favourable ecological and economic options for composite structures and non-woven and paper-like structures. Relatively high specific strength combined with low price enable the use of natural fibre reinforced composites in various applications, such as automotive, aerospace and construction industry.
Lignin & Bio Polymers
Nature's most abundant Bio polymers such as lignin and cellulose offer various possibilities in industrial applications and have the potential to replace current fossile-based resources. The variety of properties is huge. We are sure to satisfy your need based on our long-term experience and international suppliers partnerships.
Bio-Composite
materials derived from natural, renewable sources have received significant interest in recent years, in particular due to the increased awareness of and drive towards more environmentally sustainable technologies. In many cases bio-based materials offer weight reduction, added functionality (e.g. damping / impact absorption) and occupational health benefits. A significant market driver for high volume applications is the potential to disassociate material costs from the fluctuating price of oil and energy.
Environmental:
In most cases, natural fibres have lower environmental impact than glass fibres due to reduced CO2 emissions and energy consumption during production. During the use phase, natural fibres can have a positive environmental impact due to their low weight. At the end of life, natural fibre composites can be recycled, biodegraded (when used with biodegradable polymers), or can be incinerated for energy recovery.
Applications: A wide range of applications exist for natural composites, most notably in the automotive, construction, consumer and leisure markets. Commercial applications of natural fibre-synthetic polymer composites include WPC decking and outdoor furniture and automotive parts such as door liners and trim panels. The demand from designers, manufacturers and consumers for environmentally friendly products will inevitably drive the rapid development of other biocomposite materials and products.
