About LignoSphere Company
LignoSphere converts kraft lignin, a side stream of pulp production, into colloidal lignin particles: a uniform, dispersible powder that replaces synthetic phenolic compounds and other fossil-derived raw materials in coatings and adhesives. The company supplies the particles along with formulation guidance and reference formulations for metal and concrete coatings, as well as wood and metal adhesives.
Customers are coating and adhesive manufacturers who evaluate the material, co-develop formulations with their R&D teams, and scale to volume supply. For potential production partners, the manufacturing technology is available under licence.
The company was founded in 2022 as an Aalto University spin-off and is based in Espoo, Finland. Its technology is protected by seven patents. Investors named on the website include Kiilto Ventures, Stephen Industries and TekVentures, and the company reports a €1.2 million round with a US materials investor.
Product: Colloidal lignin particles (LignoSpheres) supplied as a dispersible powder, with formulation support and technology licensing for production partners.
