BORREGAARD

Borregaard is a global leader in advanced biopolymers, offering sustainable, high-performance ingredients for the HI&I cleaning industry. Our bio-based solutions are designed to replace conventional synthetic materials without compromising on cleaning efficiency, formulation flexibility, or regulatory compliance.

At SEPAWA 2025, we are showcasing two key innovations:

LignoBrite – a renewable dispersing ingredient based on lignin
LignoBrite enhances cleaning performance while supporting greener formulations. It improves soil dispersion, reduces filming and streaking, and contributes to next-time cleanability in hard surface cleaners. In laundry detergents, it acts as an effective anti-redeposition agent. In automatic dishwashing, LignoBrite helps achieve a spotless finish – offering a bio-based, label-friendly alternative to synthetic polymers.

Exilva – microfibrillated cellulose for multifunctional performance
Exilva provides natural rheology control and stabilizing effects across a wide pH range. It enhances vertical cling, improves sprayability, and keeps fragrance microcapsules suspended in fabric softeners. In acidic cleaners, it builds viscosity while maintaining clarity and stability under harsh conditions. Exilva is biodegradable, non-toxic, and derived from Scandinavian spruce.

Together, LignoBrite and Exilva support a wide range of HI&I applications:
* Hard surface and bathroom cleaners
* Laundry detergents
* Automatic dishwashing products
* Acidic descalers and sanitary cleaners
* Fabric softeners and laundry care
* Industrial & institutional cleaners

We help formulators meet today’s performance expectations and tomorrow’s sustainability demands. Our ingredients are backed by strong technical support, a commitment to innovation, and over a century of experience in biorefining.
