Our Product
LignoChemi develops bio-based antioxidant additives designed to meet the performance, regulatory, and sustainability demands of modern industrial lubricants. Our flagship product line is derived from lignin, a naturally occurring biopolymer generated as a by-product of pulp, paper, and bio-refinery industries.
Conventional lubricant antioxidants are predominantly fossil-based and face growing challenges related to environmental impact, regulatory restrictions, and long-term sustainability. LignoChemi’s solution addresses these challenges by offering a renewable, biodegradable, and regulation-ready alternative without compromising technical performance.
At the core of our product is lignin’s polyphenolic aromatic structure, which naturally provides multiple reactive sites capable of scavenging free radicals. Through controlled chemical modification and purification, we convert raw lignin into a stable, lubricant-compatible antioxidant concentrate. This multi-site structure enables sustained oxidative protection, especially under high-temperature and long-drain operating conditions common in marine, wind turbine, and industrial lubricant applications.
Our additives are designed as drop-in solutions, compatible with commonly used base oils and standard lubricant formulations. This allows lubricant manufacturers to adopt bio-based chemistry with minimal reformulation effort and low operational risk. Performance has been validated through laboratory testing and extended industrial field trials, demonstrating oxidative stability comparable to, and in some cases exceeding, conventional synthetic phenolic antioxidants.
Beyond performance, sustainability is embedded in the product design. By valorizing lignin that is otherwise underutilized or burned for energy, LignoChemi contributes to a circular bioeconomy, reducing dependence on fossil resources and lowering the overall environmental footprint of lubricant formulations.
LignoChemi’s bio-based antioxidants are developed with European regulatory frameworks in mind, including REACH compliance and biodegradability requirements, making them well-suited for applications where safety, environmental impact, and long-term regulatory certainty are critical.
Through a combination of green chemistry, industrial validation, and scalable production processes, LignoChemi delivers a practical pathway for industries to transition toward future-ready, sustainable chemical solutions.
