Cellulose Acetate
Cellulose Acetate has been at the cutting edge of innovation for over 100 years. It has been part of aviation, cinema, synthetic fibers, plastics and many more fields. Since then, the technical know-how and expertise in acetylation has been at the heart of Cerdia and as a world leader in this field, our teams are developing innovative applications and processes that will define Cellulose Acetate in the future. That future is based on a sustainable raw material that is environmentally friendly from certified forestry, through production and biodegradable disposal.
Cellulose acetate is a versatile bio-based polymer derived from natural resources offering unique features:
Biodegradable under a variety of environmental conditions
Naturally sourced and eco-friendly manufactured
Suitable for a variety of applications
Soluble in a wide range of solvents
Diversification at Cerdia
Inspired by biodegradability.
Cellulose Acetate Lifecycle
It starts and ends in nature.
The lifecycle of cellulose acetate starts and ends in nature: Here the raw material wood pulp is obtained. In an eco-friendly production process, it is manufactured into cellulose acetate. After usage, the final product biologically degrades, nourishing plants and trees once again.
