April 7, 2016

Lignin recovery is an attractive option for West Fraser’s Hinton Pulp operation in Alberta, given the company’s ability to use the bio-product as a direct substitute for phenol-formaldehyde-based adhesives in its engineered wood products. The unique attributes of lignin produced by the LignoForce™ process are the subject of ongoing development work into diverse, new applications being developed at FPInnovations, Alberta Innovates Technology Futures, and elsewhere.
