WHAT IS BIO NANOCELLULOSE
a world of nano possibilities
Have you heard about an ingredient that is organic, plant-based, biodegradable, hydrophilic and environmentally friendly?
That's Bio Nano cellulose
Bio Nanocellulose is a natural fiber that is made from coconut and has a strong affinity for water. This makes biocellulose a magnet for hydration and the perfect ingredient to use in food , medicine, and face masks.
Each bio Nanocellulose fiber measures 20 nanometers, which is 1,000 times thinner than human hair. When intertwined with each other, biocellulose fibers are much stronger than any of the normal fibers, and have the ability to retain water up to 100 times its dry weight.
Bio Nanocellulose has many special properties, such as Natural and Renewable, Biodegradable, Biocompatibility, High Strength, High Aspect Ratio, Chemical Functionality (eg for modification), Dimensional Stability, Moisture Absorption, Thermal Stability (~200 °C).
This property of Bio NanoCellulose , in addition to its highly hydrophilic nature, results in a very high liquid loading capacity. Thus it is widely used in many fields including biomedical materials, drug delivery, tissue engineering , food industry , acoustic diaphragm, functional paper, optical displays, nanostructured biomaterials, and biocomposites .

IN FOOD
Bacterial Cellulose (BC) , a microbial polysaccharide, has significant potential as a food ingredient in view of its high purity, in-situ change of flavor and color, and has the ability to form various shapes and textures. As a nanoscale fiber , it can form a 3D network structure.
Its material properties are multifunctional , with potential uses for thickening and gelation, stabilization, water retention, and as a packaging material.

FACE MASKS
A second skin effect for optimal care.
Considered the premium material for face masks, bio cellulose is a natural material , made from very fine cellulose fibers produced by micro-organisms. Environmentally friendly and 100% biodegradable , its ability to absorb a high amount of liquids makes it a naturally moisturizing material for the skin.
Thanks to its perfect adherence to the contours of the face, the biocellulose mask allows optimal absorption of the active ingredients by the skin.

BANDAGES AND DRESSINGS
Bio Nanocellulose is used as a non-toxic biocompatible dressing, thus reducing the risk of nosocomial contamination.
The cellulose membrane is transparent, allowing easy examination of the wound. The cellulose fabric adheres without the use of adhesives and a crust forms within a few days. Specialists report that it also progressively eliminates pain in most wounds. When the wound heals, the scab falls off on its own from the surface of the skin.

The Bio Nano Cellulose arrives on your computer screen, "the Bio Celulosa has the opportunity to shine"
The Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research of the University of Osaka in Japan, has determined the optical parameters of Bio Cellulose molecules with unprecedented precision. They discovered that the intrinsic birefringence of Bio cellulose describes how a material that reacts differently to light, from various orientations, is powerful enough to be used in optical displays, such as flexible displays or electronic paper.

BIO TEXTILES
Cellulose fibers measure approximately 10 nm, are very rigid, resistant, porous and with a numerous nanofibrillar structure. Taking these properties into account, bacterial cellulose is used in the textile industry , for the manufacture of: Bags, shoes, dresses, shirts, pants and jackets.
