BacFiber® AG for Coatings, Printing, and Other Applications

BacFiber® AG is an entirely bio-based suspension stabilizer derived from bacterial cellulose, specifically designed for coatings, inks, printing, and textile dyeing applications. Its unique physical and chemical properties enable exceptional suspension stability even under extreme conditions such as high salinity or oil phases, while maintaining the product's rheological performance unchanged.
1. Product Features
Fully Bio-based Green StabilizerMade from natural bacterial cellulose, it is an environmentally friendly and green material that aligns with the principles of sustainable development.
Three-Dimensional Network Structure (ɑ Network)By leveraging the exceptionally high aspect ratio and Young's modulus of bacterial cellulose, a stable, nanoscale three-dimensional network structure (Alpha Network) is formed, which effectively suspends and stabilizes small solid particles in the product.
Without altering the rheological propertiesWhile providing excellent suspension stability, BacFiber® AG does not significantly alter the product's rheological properties, ensuring that the product's performance and processability remain unaffected.
Suitable for extreme systemsIt can operate stably under extreme conditions such as high salinity and oil-phase systems, making it suitable for complex industrial applications.
Pickering Emulsion StabilizerIt can form Pickering emulsions, stabilizing the emulsion system through the adsorption of solid particles (bacterial cellulose) at the oil-water interface.
