Role in BRISA:
Developing safer bio-based binders to reduce toxic foundry emissions.
Foresa Technologies contributes industrial expertise in bio-based binder chemistry. It leads Task 3.3, developing resin formulations that replace part of their fossil-based content with renewable feedstocks such as lignin, black liquor, tannins and sugars.
The company develops safer alternatives to conventional fossil-based binders for the foundry pilot. These formulations aim to reduce VOC emissions, including phenol, formaldehyde and benzene, by more than 50%. Foresa Technologies also supports the commercial exploitation of the resulting binder solutions.
