Description:
Lorama is pleased to announce that due to SDTC support, it is able to bring its latest innovation in the area of environmentally sound chemicals to market on an accelerated basis. In this project, Lorama has perfected a new range of adhesives, based upon its proprietary polysaccharide resin chemistry, that technically and economically replace toxic, carcinegenic, and fossil fuel based adhesives currently in widespread use, inclusive of house construction and furniture (engineered wood products) applications.In addition to protecting the public from such hazards, elimination of these traditional adhesives has the potential to reduce GHG emissions by up to 25000 kilo-tons of GHG. The replacement Lorama products are entirely plant-based materials, fully renewable, pose no health hazard, and offer Canada the opportunity to play an important part in reducing the environmental footprint of this adhesive class, while adding hundreds of Millions of $'s to our GNP.
