Nanulose®
WHAT IS IT?
WHAT IS IT?

It is a product based on bacterial cellulose, a biomaterial produced by different types of bacteria. This polymer has the same chemical structure as cellulose of plant origin, but differs in its make-up and physical and chemical properties.
It is made up of nanometric-sized fibrils with a high degree of crystalline ordering.
The material has a purity level of 100%, with no contamination of residues such as lignin or hemicellulose, which are present in cellulose of vegetable origin.
NANULOSE® is a trademark owned by BIOM, which has been registered with the INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OFFICE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (EUIPO Certificate).

BENEFITS
BENEFITS

Compatible with Vegan Ways of Life
No ingredients of plant or animal origin are used at any time in the production process.

Sustainable
Sustainable and environmentally-friendly production process. It helps in the fight against deforestation by representing an alternative to plant cellulose.

No waste generated
Part of the carbon that is used comes directly from CO2 in the atmosphere. The total carbon footprint is negative and contributes to reducing the greenhouse effect.

Uses and applications

Cosmetics
The size of the fibres that form the cellulose mesh is nanometric, well below the micrometric size of microcrystalline cellulose (which is derived from plant cellulose).

Medicine
It can be useful for the manufacture of dressings for skin wounds, burns, tissue regeneration, etc. since it is an effective carrier of active principles and liquids.

Textiles
Its high degree of crystalline arrangement gives it tensile strength properties that much higher than those that can be obtained with plant cellulose. It can be incorporated into fabrics and plastics to make them more resistant.

Other sectors
It filters out UV rays (both A and B), making it useful for applications such as food packaging to protect food from the harmful effects of exposure to light.
