Lignosulfonate & Humate R&D

Research & Development

Practical research on lignin, humate and organic carbon chemistry.

Our R&D work is focused on real applications: improving product stability, formulation compatibility and performance, and helping customers choose and use the right grade. Laboratory results are carried through to production so that new and adjusted grades stay consistent from batch to batch.

Research Focus

The product families and applications our laboratory works on.

Lignosulfonates

Calcium, sodium, magnesium and other lignosulfonate grades for binding, dispersing and water reduction.

Humates & Organic Carbon

Humic substances, lignohumates and organic carbon inputs for soil conditioning and fertilizer blends.

Dispersants & Wetting Agents

Dispersing and wetting performance in pesticide, dye, pigment and industrial formulations.

Construction Additives

Water-reducing and retarding effects of lignin-based additives in concrete and mortar.

Feed & Pellet Binding

Pellet durability and binding performance for feed and other agglomerated products.

Formulation Compatibility

Stability, solubility and compatibility checks in customer formulations before scale-up.

From Lab to Production

How a customer requirement becomes a consistent product.

RequirementWe review the application, target performance and specification with the customer.
Laboratory TrialsCandidate grades are prepared and compared in the laboratory.
Application TestingSamples are tested under conditions close to the customer’s process.
Scale-Up & QCThe selected grade moves to production, with every batch tested and reported on the COA.
