Efficient Solutions for Concrete and Mortar
Our sodium gluconate (available in Crystalline F, Crystalline G, and Liquid forms) improves concrete formulation by increasing plasticity, enabling water reduction, and optimizing set times.
These biobased ingredients support improved compressive strength and maintain workability, all while being fully plant-based and biodegradable. TACKIDEX® modified starches and glucose syrups further enhance the quality of mixes by controlling viscosity and rheology.
Advanced Ingredients for Plasterboard, Ceilings, and Partitions
In plasterboard production, our dextrose, native and modified starches, and POLYSORB® polyols promote strong paper adhesion and anti-burning properties while optimizing drying and enabling controlled rheology. This leads to quality boards with reduced energy and plaster consumption. Our solutions uphold recycling potential and offer high bio content — helping manufacturers meet their sustainability pledges.
Alongside these ingredients, NEOSORB® 70/70 serves as a co-reactant in woodboard applications, where it enhances the mechanical performance of MF and MUF resins for paper impregnation in laminated panels. By strengthening and improving the durability of finished boards, NEOSORB® 70/70 further supports the creation of robust, high-quality partitions while aligning with your biobased innovation and sustainability objectives.
Innovative Biobased Solutions for Insulation
For insulation materials such as mineral wool and glass wool, Roquette offers specialized biobased ingredients that help enhance processability and environmental performance.
For instance, our glucose syrups 74/968 and POLYSORB® 75/75 polyols are designed to optimize binder formulations, improving fiber cohesion and mechanical strength while supporting reduced emissions during production. With these plant-based solutions, insulation manufacturers can achieve high-performing, easy-to-handle materials that contribute to both energy efficiency and sustainability targets.
By leveraging renewable resources, Roquette’s ingredients deliver value throughout the insulation value chain, ensuring a greener future for building envelopes and indoor comfort.
Easy-to-handle solutions for Dry Mixes
For ready-to-use dry blends and mortars, Roquette’s sodium gluconate, and polyols (Sorbitol), are recognized for their ability to ensure easy handling, controlled open time, and consistent drying.
Our bio-based and biodegradable raw materials enhance flexibility in formulation and answer the growing call for eco-friendly products.
