Production Process

Sustainably sourced wood pulp from Europe is the one and only raw material used in the production of Celova® microfibrillated cellulose.

The first step in the process is to finely mill the cellulose pulp to reduce its fiber length (Celova® C-grades). The fine cellulose powder is then dispersed in water and fibrillated in a purely mechanical process without any chemicals (Celova® M-grades).

The high shear forces during the process tear the fibril bundles of the cellulose fiber apart to form a thin 3D network structure with a very high specific surface area. The resulting gel-like suspension is then filled into IBC containers for shipping.

Microfibrillated Cellulose (M-grades and MFC Powder)

Our microfibrillated celluloses have the potential to be a natural and sustainable alternative to petrochemicals.

Celova® MFC Powder

Dry MFC allows optimal formulation variability for waterless and water-free applications.

Cellulose Powders (C-grades)

Celova® C500, C1000 and C2000 consist of highly milled cellulose pulp with fiber lengths ranging from 0.5 mm – 1.6 mm. In comparison to microfibrillated cellulose, which is usually delivered as an aqueous suspension, the cellulose powders are suitable for water sensitive applications, such as fiber composites and cement, and can also be used as growing media for microgreens & other plants.
