ino ® wool

The market has traditionally been dominated by two fundamentally different types of binders. Organic and inorganic. Both types of binders have advantages. But also disadvantages.

Organic binders are flexible, variable in application, but they are thermally unstable and cause toxic emissions - especially in the event of fire, but also at room temperature and elevated temperatures. Ever since the difficulties with phenolic resin-bonded wood-based materials, everyone has been familiar with "formaldehyde". 

While inorganic binders are thermally stable, they are brittle and sometimes not water resistant.

ino ® wool is the result of an intelligent combination of organic and inorganic chemistry. A nanocomposite only accessible through chemical nanotechnology. Consisting of surface-modified, siliceous nanoparticles, which, through the incorporation of thermally stable, organic residues, enable a flexibility of the bound materials that is otherwise only known from organic binders.

A nanocomposite that ideally combines the advantages of organic and inorganic binders without having to accept the disadvantages.
