Lignin is a natural polymer found in the cell walls of plants, providing structural support and rigidity. In our filter media we use lignin for its sustainable properties, offering an ecofriendly alternative to replace fossil-based resins. 

By adding the eco-friendly lignin saturation, GESSNER developed a more sustainable product that does not compromise on filtration performance nor on its mechanical properties. Additionally, it decreases formaldehyde emissions during the curing process. 

Compared to standard media with a fossil-based resin saturation initial calculations show that the new lignin-based saturation filter media offers an improved product carbon footprint. 

The lignin-based resin saturation is used in various automotive applications, including engine air intake, oil, and fuel filtration. But the application of lignin is not limited to these – any cellulose filter media which is currently using phenolic resins can seamlessly transition to the lignin modified saturation. 

Discover GESSNER’s eco-friendly lignin-based saturation for cellulose filter media on their homepage and use the possibility to meet their team at Filtech – booth H3, hall 7 – from November 12th to 14th in Cologne. At the GESSNER booth you can experience this and many other innovative filter materials firsthand and engage in insightful discussions about future advancements in filter media solutions.
