Bio-based lubrication & packaging
The transition from fossil-based materials to high-performance bio-based alternatives is gaining momentum. The driving forces for this change come from tightening regulations, shifting market expectations, and growing instability in global supply chains.
We combine deep natural chemistry expertise with a pragmatic, application-driven approach to assist manufacturers seeking to benefit from the bio-based progress and make their businesses more resilient and aligned with evolving regulatory and sustainability expectations.
Bio-based lubrication & cleaning
Designed for manufacturers and workshops across cycling, winter sports, skating, longboarding, archery, and more - seeking more sustainable lubrication and degreasing solutions.
Plinius Biowax
Clean, durable hot-melt lubrication is rapidly replacing traditional oil-based lubricants in drivetrains and ski equipment.
Our biowax makes this transition easy with a fully bio-based wax designed for durability, cleanliness, and regulatory compliance.
Why choose Plinius Biowax
Better drivetrain protection
With durable hotmelt lubrication, drivetrains stay cleaner, run smoother, and resist wear significantly better than traditional oil-based systems.
Hotmelt wax forms a dry, protective film that minimizes dirt adhesion and abrasive wear.
Stable and scalable supply
Produced from European biomass streams that do not compete with food, enabling reliable and scalable sourcing.
Regulatory future-proofing
A non-toxic, biocircular formulation designed to align with tightening environmental and chemical regulations.
PFAS-free, nano-additive-free
Plinius Biowax is fully biobased, with documentation prepared for third-party certification.
Drop-in operational compatibility
Integrates seamlessly into existing waxing processes.
Compatible with current kettles, coating weights, and established SOPs.
Business stability
Reduce exposure to regulatory pressure, global supply volatility, and shifting consumer expectations.
Developed for modern cycling drivetrains
Ready for demanding road and gravel riding conditions and compatible with existing waxing processes.
Plinius Biological Degreaser
Drivetrain cleaning requires removing oils, wax residues, and contaminants without leaving residues that interfere with lubrication. Our biobased degreaser breaks down grime effectively while remaining safe for users, components, and the environment.
Why choose Plinius Biological Degreaser
High cleaning efficiency
Removes oil, wax, and particulate buildup with minimal mechanical effort.
Non-hazardous formulation
Free from VOCs, petro solvents, PFAS, and aggressive chemicals.
Ideal for hotmelt workflows
Ensures a residue-free surface that maximizes wax adhesion and durability.
High-efficiency, low-impact cleaning solution for OEM production lines, service centres, and performance-focused riders.
Component-safe
Compatible with metals, coatings, and modern drivetrain materials.
Biodegradable and environmentally responsible
Designed to break down naturally without ecological persistence.
For cycling and winter sports equipment systems
We are seeking co-development partners to further refine this biological degreaser for drivetrain and equipment cleaning applications.
Biobased food packaging
Plinius Lignin Carbohydrate Complex (LCC)
Biodegradable food packaging materials must protect products effectively while reducing reliance on fossil-based plastics.
Our PLiCC hybrid structure combines lignin’s aromatic strength with plant-based polysaccharides, creating a multifunctional ingredient that enhances both sustainability and product quality.
How PLiCC improves food packaging
Protection from light
UV absorption helps protect light-sensitive foods, preserving color, flavor, and nutrients.
Protection from contamination
Antimicrobial properties help limit microbial growth, supporting food stability.
Stronger packaging materials
Mechanical reinforcement improves the strength and durability of biodegradable polymer films.
Protection from oxidation
Natural antioxidant activity helps slow oxidative degradation and maintain product freshness.
Protection from oxygen and moisture
Improved barrier properties help maintain product quality and shelf life.
Sustainable packaging solutions
Fully biobased and circular, supporting modern expectations for clean materials, low-carbon packaging strategies, and credible ESG impact.
