The Global Market for Microfibrillated Cellulose (MFC) 2023-2033
Microfibrillated Cellulose (MFC) is a biobased material composed of cellulose fibrils that have been separated from a source, typically wood pulp. MFC has a large surface area, thus allowing the formation of more hydrogen bonds within the web, giving natural strength to new materials. When added to the manufacturing process they produce a wide range of enhancements including:
- increased tensile strength.
- improved barrier properties.
- smoother surfaces.
- improved printability.
- reduced porosity.
- improved web density.
- increased web consolidation.
- Technology analysis including properties, benefits, other cellulose based advanced biomaterials and pricing.
- Production capacities in metric tons.
- Global market demand 2018-2033, by market, in metric tons. Markets covered include paperboards & packaging, textiles, personal care and paints & coatings, plus analysis of new markets including batteries.
- Market supply chain.
- MFC products.
- 58 company profiles. Companies profiled include Borregaard Chemcell, Daicel Corporation, Fiberlean Technologies, Klabin, Norkse Skog, Sappi Biotech, Stora Enso, Suzano, UPM, Valmet and Zelfo Technology.
