CellON
CellON transforms lignocellulosic fibers from plants and wood into bio-based shield materials that replace toxic, non-biodegradable PFAS and plastics. The company's proprietary platform technology produces two tunable materials—SuperFibre and Nanogel—for applications including oil and grease resistance, fire prevention, and antimicrobial barriers. These materials are biodegradable, decomposing through natural biological processes and enriching the soil.

Problem
Conventional materials used for oil and grease resistance, fire prevention, and barrier applications often rely on toxic and non-biodegradable substances such as PFAS and plastics, which persist in the environment and pose health risks. Industries need sustainable alternatives that provide equivalent performance without compromising safety or environmental integrity.
Solution
CellON turns lignocellulosic fibers from plants and wood into bio-based shield materials through a proprietary platform technology that delivers tunable product properties. The company offers two core materials—SuperFibre and Nanogel—engineered to meet specific performance requirements across multiple applications, including oil and grease resistance, fire prevention, and antimicrobial barriers. These materials are designed to be free of toxic chemicals such as PFAS and plastics, and they decompose through natural biological processes, enriching the soil rather than polluting it. By enabling tailored material properties, CellON provides a scalable alternative for manufacturers seeking sustainable substitutes without sacrificing functionality.
Target Audience
Manufacturers and product developers across packaging, construction, textiles, and other industrial sectors seeking PFAS-free, biodegradable alternatives for barrier, resistance, and prevention applications.
