Ligate™ bioadhesives from 100% renewable resources

Scion researchers have developed a truly sustainable adhesive technology for wood panels.

Most wood panels in the world today depend on petrochemical, formaldehyde-based adhesives.

Consumers and regulators are increasingly seeking more environmentally friendly options for a healthier home and work environment.

Ligate™ bioadhesives are based entirely on renewable ingredients, free of petrochemicals and formaldehyde. They are water-based, non-toxic and compatible with existing adhesive and wood panel manufacturing equipment.

Ligate™ is currently being evaluated through manufacturing trials with commercial partners.
