GAÏALENE®
Integrated Functionalized Natural Polymers
Integrated Functionalized Natural Polymers -A way of fine-tuning trailblazing properties while cutting dependence on petroleum.
GAIALENE
The GAÏLENE® program is developing a new form of functionalization chemistry for plant-derived natural polymers such as starches and proteins.
GAÏALENE® is an answer to new demands for biosourced plastics in particular, and to replace oil-derived polymers in general (in adhesives, paint, ink and varnish, building materials, water treatment, etc.).
Functionalizing plant-derived polymers is a way of fine-tuning trailblazing properties while cutting dependence on petroleum.
The GAÏALENE® program currently encompasses 23 partner business firms and research centers (all of which are world leaders in their fields). Several studies have already earned competitiveness-cluster certification from Axelera, Plastipolis, Mov’eo and Maud.
The Integrated Functionalized Natural Polymer products that have already secured patents (eight to date) are manufactured in batches amounting to a few tons each, and a few trademarks – including GAÏALENE®, GAÏAFINE™ and GAÏAPOL™ - have been chosen for the premarketing phase.
