Visit Huntsman at LIGNA 2025 at Stand B61 in Hall 26, Hannover Messe, Germany from 26-30 May 2025

Huntsman, one of the leading global companies in the development of polyurethane-based resins for the manufacture of composite wood products, will be exhibiting at LIGNA 2025 in May and will unveil two new bio-based products at the world’s leading trade fair for woodworking and wood processing technology.

Developed to reduce the carbon footprint of composite wood products MDI-based resins by up to 30%*, the new binders incorporate up to 25% bio-based content, without compromising the quality or performance that can be achieved in resulting panels.
I-BOND® PB BIO 1025 resin and I-BOND® OSB BIO 1025 resin have been developed for use in the manufacture of oriented strand board (OSB) and particleboard (PB), offering bio-based content solutions that support the industry’s sustainability ambitions. Closely aligned with market and customer requirements, the new products form part of a wider range of non-added formaldehyde fast-curing I-BOND® resins that Huntsman offers to enable the production of high quality, durable composite wood products.

Developed to offer similar quality characteristics and performance capabilities to standard I-BOND® resins, while maximizing bio-based content, the new resins are capable to enable compatibility with existing manufacturing processes and can allow manufacturers to easily switch materials according to requirements. They can also help composite wood manufacturers meet panel specification requirements in terms of emission standards.

At LIGNA, Huntsman’s theme will be ‘Inspired by Nature, Breathing & Building Quality’, highlighting the team’s focus on providing the market with innovative technologies to help drive a low carbon future.
