Bio Based Adhesives
At FirepHly BioMaterials, we specialize in developing innovative biomaterials that enhance the efficiency of multiple applications.
Our products are designed to minimize environmental impact while maximizing performance in the biomaterial sector.
FirepHly BioMaterials has licensed and developed a suite of
patent pending bio-based adhesives including construction glue, wood glue, craft glue, and thread locker for
commercial and consumer use.
We strive to develop adhesive solutions are both safe for the environment and safe for the consumer.
Bio Based Barrier Films
ur dedicated Research & Development team is committed to advancing the field of biotechnology through innovative research and collaboration. We focus on creating sustainable solutions that address global challenges and are better for the environment
and safer for the consumer than our competition.
FirepHly BioMaterials has developed a patent pending technology for the use of a bio-based barrier film in laundry pods. Current leading brands of laundry pods pose significant environmental problems
due to their composition and disposal.
Microplastic Pollution:
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVOH / PVA), an ingredient in laundry pods, breaks down into microplastics when it biodegrades.
These microplastics are too small to be filtered out of water systems and accumulate in the environment, particularly in oceans.
Water Pollution:
About 8,000 tons of untreated PVOH from laundry products end up polluting US waters annually. This pollution directly affects marine life as microplastics are consumed by aquatic organisms.
Incomplete Biodegradation:
Recent studies challenge the claim that PVOH is readily biodegradable. Most water treatment facilities do not sufficiently treat PVOH, allowing it to persist in the environment.
Manufacturing Impact:
The production of PVOH film used in laundry pods is a polluting process, contributing to carcinogenic toxins, ozone depletion, acidification, eutrophication, and fossil fuel depletion.
Additional Harmful Ingredients:
Many laundry pods contain other environmentally damaging chemicals, such as phosphates, which can cause algae blooms that deprive marine life of oxygen. Due to these concerns, some lawmakers are pushing for bans on laundry products containing PVOH, recognizing the significant environmental impact of these
seemingly convenient cleaning solutions.
Bio Based Barrier Coatings
FirepHly BioMaterials is devoted to promoting sustainability in all aspects of our operations. We strive to create eco-friendly products that contribute to a healthier planet while meeting the needs
of our clients and partners.
FirepHly BioMaterials has developed patent pending bio-based technology for barrier coatings for consumer-packaged goods,
oil and grease resistant food packaging, and multiple other uses while containing only bioderived ingredients.
