Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Lignosulfonates

Lignosulfonates are natural polymers derived from wood during the sulfite pulping process. They are produced by treating wood chips with sulfite and bisulfite ions, which breaks down lignin into water-soluble lignosulfonate molecules.

Lignosulfonates are widely used as concrete admixtures, binders in particle board production, dust suppressants in road construction, and as components in Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) panel production. They also serve as plasticizers and dispersants in various construction materials.
Lignosulfonates enhance sustainability by improving resource efficiency, reducing waste, and lowering carbon emissions. They allow for the use of less cement in concrete, improve the durability of structures, and are biodegradable, contributing to a circular economy in construction.
Lignosulfonates improve concrete workability, reduce water requirements, enhance strength, and increase durability. They also help in reducing cement content, thereby lowering the carbon footprint of concrete production.

Lignosulfonates act as natural fire retardants. They slow down the rate of combustion and char formation in wood, reducing flame spread and increasing the time before structural failure in case of fire.

Yes, lignosulfonates can improve the seismic performance of wooden structures. They enhance the flexibility and energy absorption capacity of wood, allowing buildings to better withstand seismic forces and reduce structural damage during earthquakes.
Lignosulfonates help reduce carbon footprint by allowing for less cement use in concrete, improving energy efficiency through better insulation properties, and extending the lifespan of structures, which reduces the need for frequent renovations or rebuilding.
Lignosulfonates increase the durability of wood by improving its resistance to moisture, fungi, and insects. This enhanced protection extends the lifespan of wooden structures, reducing maintenance needs and replacement frequency.
Yes, lignosulfonates are considered safe for residential use. They are non-toxic, non-allergenic, and classified in the lowest hazard category. They do not emit harmful substances and are environmentally friendly.
Kariwood’s lignosulfonates offer superior cost-effectiveness compared to many traditional materials.
