LignoTech looking to build facility in the U.S.

In New Zealand, netcomposites reports that LignoTech achieved a breakthough with its bio-based thermoset resin extender, which is produced at their New Zealand pilot plant.  They quote LignoTech’s North American Technical Specialist as saying, “The bio-based extender will offer composite companies a competitive advantage by changing to a green renewable solution that can lower costs.”  Also, the resin extender reduces weight due to a lower specific gravity.  LignoTech is looking to build a U.S. manufacturing plant.
