BIOSAFIRE – Development and manufacture of new, more sustainable and safer materials using biobased functionalised additives based on lingin and tannins to improve fire resistance
Project Details
Funding amount: € 10 M
Total project budget: € 12.61 M
Start date: December 2024
Project duration: 42 months

BIOSAFIRE goes back to nature to upgrade lignins and tannins, nature’s flame retardants, and unlock them for industrial application of biosbased flame retardants. Starting from already existing pilot plants, BIOSAFIRE upscalesand broadens the available feedstocks to provide flame retardant in powder formats for five applications in four different sectors: naval, railway, household goods and wood coatings.
Featuring the same fire retardancy performance as chosen toxic benchmarks and enhancingsafety and sustainability with an 80% of biobased content, BIOSAFIRE aspires to not only demonstrate its targets on 5 use cases, but also to create a material portfolio and a set of processing guidelines to enhance flame retardants substitution by the industry. This will open the possibility for biobased resins to exhibit good fire retardant properties.
