INCI name: Betula Alba Bark Extract
Suberinno™ Suberin
Bio-Based Barrier and Functional Polymer Ingredient
Suberinno™ Suberin is a bio-based suberin acid mixture derived from upcycled Nordic birch bark, providing multifunctional performance in coatings, adhesives, packaging materials and cosmetic formulations.
Naturally occurring in plant cell walls, suberin acts as a protective barrier against water, oils and environmental stress, making it valuable for bio-based barrier coatings, sustainable packaging materials and advanced polymer systems.
Innomost produces Suberinno™ Suberin using unique patented technology that converts certified birch bark side streams into high-value circular biomaterials in mass-scale.
Suberinno™ functions as a bio-based emulsifier, texturiser, tackifier and moisture barrier. It can also act as a bio-based polyol in polyesters and polyurethanes.
