OUR OFFER

Bringing together biocarbon and plastics

We match biocarbon supply with the demand of the plastic industry via the integration of our tailoring & formulation technology.


We integrate our tailoring and formulation know-how into biocarbon production plants in order to formulate biocarbon compounding concentrates, named BC2U (Biocarbon Capture To Utilisation) or functional biocarbon masterbatches.


These masterbatches can be applied in the majority of thermoplastic applications. Nevertheless, we have a focus on ‘engineered plastics’.


We develop the formulations in our laboratory in BlueChem Antwerp (BE) and validate them at scale in our future demo-plant in Temse (BE).


For compounding trials, we make these functional biocarbon masterbatches in-house and supply industrial trial volumes at reasonable cost.


Carboganic is a knowledge & application driven company, ready for industrial scale up. We offer licenses on the formulated BC2U polymer masterbatches to compounders as well as integration of our biocarbon tailoring expertise via licenses to biocarbon producers.

 

We play the role of functional biocarbon masterbatch supply chain integrator and thus matching biocarbon supply with industrial compounding demands.

This enables polymers to (partially)defossilize.

Modifying standard biocarbon into technical biocarbon

Biocarbon is the result of the conversion of biomass through a pyrolysis process. We have a focus on biocarbon made from residual woody biomass (e.g. wood, nutshells, olive stones).

 

By modifying the biocarbon to a tailored, safe and easy to handle material, we create a technical biocarbon.

Creating engineered biocarbon from the technical biocarbon

We customize the technical biocarbon to an engineered biocarbon (BC2U) by combining the biocarbon with polymers and specific additives to functional biocarbon masterbatches directly suitable for compounding.
 

By incorporating biocarbon into thermoplastic polymers, we reduce the CO2 footprint of fossil polymers and contribute to fossil carbon removal.

SERVICES

FOR COMPOUNDERS

1

Inform

by sharing our knowledge, we make you aware of (im)possibilities of biocarbon as a smart additive via our biocarbon compounding concentrates.

2

Understand

understanding your interests, technical requirements and cost indications is key to be able to identify the potential pains and gains of a new formulation.

3

Ideate

benchmarking with current formulations and product data initial ideas for alternative formulations are agreed. In our laboratory we will prepare a lab-quantity (3 kg)of masterbatch for initial validation.

4

Create

according to the lab-validated formulation, we produce a test-masterbatch, packed and labelled for supply.

5

Prove

the test-masterbatch is tested in the compounding process and validated according to the pre-set requirements.

6

Implement

​based on a successful trial a license agreement is formalized, allowing the usage of the developed formulation. Parallel we will secure the availability of the BC2U engineered biocarbon by the biocarbon producer.

7

Launch

the licensed (engineered) biocarbon producer formulates a supply agreement with the licensed compounder on volumes, deliveries, pricing and conditions.

SERVICES

FOR BIOCARBON PRODUCERS

1

Inform

by sharing our engineering and tailoring expertise, we make you aware of the possibilities of upgrading your raw biocarbon into a high added value additive for the thermoplastic industry.

2

Understand

together we analyse your production process, ambitions and goals. Based on this we advise you about the potential of your specific biocarbon and the implementation of our knowhow.

3

Ideate

comparing with our proven biocarbon formulations we define the best application for your biocarbon.

4

Create

in our laboratory we will do a thorough characterization of your biocarbon and create a masterbatch formulation.

5

Prove

your masterbatch formulation will be produced and afterwards compounded for a proof of concept. Based on this a GO/NO GO decision will be made.

6

Prepare

the next step is a proposal for a feasibility study in order to come to an integrated biocarbon masterbatch production line. After your assignment we will prepare a concept of design.

7

Contracting

based on the positive evaluation of the feasibility study a contract will be worked out. Covering engineering aspects and a licencing agreement for the biocarbon masterbatch formulation(s).
