Lignin as raw material for asphalt and roofing
Put a chemist and road-builder together and you have an explosive mix. Not in the sense that there is a danger of explosion but in terms of power and knowledge. By joining forces in the laboratory, Dr Ted Slaghek and Dave van Vliet of Biorzion co-founder TNO created a type of bitumen with improved properties. Based on lignin.
