Overview of Lignin
Lignin is a complex, naturally occurring organic polymer found in the cell walls of plants, primarily in wood and bark. It is a major by-product of the paper and pulp industry and is widely used in adhesives, binders, coatings, and bio-based materials. Known for its high carbon content, chemical stability, and renewable origin, lignin is an eco-friendly material for industrial applications.
In industrial formulations, Lignin is valued for its binding properties, antioxidant activity, and compatibility with resins and polymers. It is often used alongside Phenolic Resin, Polyvinyl Acetate, and Alkyl Phenolic Resin, available on ChemicalBull, offering sustainable solutions for adhesives, coatings, and speciality chemical applications.
