Cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer on earth and the main component of all plants. It makes sense to harness this resource and unlock its potential as a biomaterial. One development centered around this is Valida.

Valida is fibrillated cellulose manufactured by Sappi, a 100% natural, biodegradable, and sustainable material produced by mechanically processing wood derived cellulose fibers down to their smallest components, resulting in innovative material properties.

These include excellent stabilizing potential, rheology modification, mechanical reinforcement, and robustness.

Valida’s non-soluble 3D-fiber network boosts rheology, anti-sagging, and anti-settling performance. Also, cellulose fibrils have proven to improve critical parameters as tensile strength and adhesion, providing enhanced water proofing and dirt pick-up resistance The highly shear thinning profile helps application of thicker paint layers reducing application time and eliminating cracking issue. 

The topic of this webinar will be the use of Valida fibrillated cellulose in Elastomeric roof coatings:

• What Valida is and its key functionalities. 
• Impact on rheology: increased stability, anti-settling and anti-sagging
• How fibrillated cellulose helps boost applicability/workability of high-build coatings with no mud cracking. 
• Benefits of cellulose fibrils on: mechanical properties, water-proofing and surface properties of roof coating
