Jonathan Matthewman's Company Details
TECHNOLOGYFunCell Technology is bio inspired and use biobased polymers to enhance cellulose-cellulose interactions in wet and dry conditions. Our additives show a high degree of mechanical performances: papers are up to 2 times stronger at dry state and up to 20 times stronger at wet state. The high reactivity of the product also allows a further functionalization in aqueous medium to provide on demand functionalities to the final product.APPLICATIONSFunCell propose additives that are suitable for all kind of cellulosic materials. They offer sustainable solutions for paper and boards, for all kinds of fibers and pulps.ADVANTAGESFunCell additives will provide you a wide range of possibilities in terms of performances and added values, as they require no specific process: you can add directly the product to the paper pulp, and it doesn't need any activation or curing step. The high flexibility of these additives make them available for all kind of cellulosic materials and/or fibres. FunCell's additives, are also non toxic and keep the biodegradability of papers.ABOUT USFunCell is a company launched in 2020 from an academic laboratory, the CEntre de Recherche sur les MAcromolecules Végétales (Cermav, CNRS) in Grenoble, France. Our team is involved in the study of polysaccharides, their organization and their applicative potential for new materials, from fundamental problematics to industrial partnerships. Our skills and knowledge in chemistry and physico-chemistry of these polymers enables a unique know-how in formulation and production, which allows us to propose custom-made solutions for the development and optimization of cellulosic materials. Therefore FunCell use this expertise to provide to the paper industry, additives and on-demand solutions for wet and dry strength reinforcement and functionalization.
