We are delighted that our innovative wood stain has now also been recognized by the press office of RWTH Aachen University. In a recent article, the RWTH highlights the discovery process and the special properties of our chitosan glaze. It also discusses our sustainable approach to environmentally friendly alternatives in the construction industry.
Our coating is based on chitosan, a natural substance that can be obtained from crab shells, insect shells and fungi. It is not only water and stain resistant, but also UV resistant, flame retardant and fully compostable. While wood has to be disposed of separately after treatment with conventional wood preservatives, our biodegradable coating fits perfectly into the circular economy of sustainable building materials.
