Imagine a protective paint or varnish that works like a hard plastic shell but is made from plants instead of oil. It cures instantly under UV light, making it fast and energy-efficient to apply. This technology ensures the final product is tough enough for cars and buildings while being much easier to recycle at the end of its life.
High-performance UV coatings currently rely on fossil fuels, and existing bio-based alternatives lack the performance needed for automotive and construction sectors.
A modular synthesis platform for biobased monomers and two specific 95% biobased coating formulations, validated at semi-industrial scale.
If you are a car parts manufacturer dealing with strict sustainability targets and fossil-fuel dependence — this project developed a coating with >95% biogenic content that provides high-performance protection. It allows you to replace traditional PU coatings without sacrificing durability.
If you are a construction coating provider dealing with the need for greener building materials — this project developed a modular platform of biobased building blocks. This enables the creation of high-performance coatings that meet demanding industry standards while improving the environmental profile.
If you are a packaging company dealing with the challenge of non-recyclable coatings — this project developed a scalable solution validated on paper and plastic. It provides a way to use 95% biobased formulations that are tested for biodegradability and recycling.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not provided, but the project includes a Life Cycle Costing (LCC) analysis to demonstrate economic feasibility for future scale-up.
Yes, the solution has been validated on a semi-industrial scale on rigid substances such as paper and plastic.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, but the project involves 8 industrial partners and 6 SMEs who are developing the platform.
Yes, the project is designed to help companies comply with European legislation and the EU bioeconomy strategy by replacing fossil-based raw materials.
The project period runs from 2023-06-01 to 2026-11-30, suggesting full results will be available by late 2026.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 8 industrial partners (including 6 SMEs) representing 57% of the group. This high ratio of commercial entities, combined with 4 research centers and 1 university, suggests a strong focus on commercial viability and market entry rather than pure academic research.
