Fibre materials technology
The demand for sustainable and renewable materials is increasing. With VTT you can create new bio-based materials viable for the circular economy and methods for manufacturing them more efficiently.
The fibre materials technology platform allows you to experiment and develop new cellulose fibre-based material solutions for packaging, construction and textile applications.
When you need an extra push to take your new materials from the laboratory phase to large-scale research in the industry, VTT is the right companion for you. With us you can pilot your solutions and minimise the risks involved. Our pilot-scale machines provide advanced measurements and accurate information for your needs.
VTT’s research infrastructure consists of laboratory facilities and two unique pilot lines. In addition to the traditional wet-laid process, our infrastructure enables the production of recyclable and sustainable materials for several applications by foam forming technology. Our laboratory facilities and expert teams support your research excellently. The infrastructure is located in Jyväskylä.
