LigninCorp supplies industrial lignin as a black powder that does not dissolve in water. Lignin is the natural phenolic polymer that binds wood fibres together; our lignin is recovered from pulping and supplied with TDS, SDS and a COA for each batch.

Key Properties
- Black powder with 50% min lignin content.
- Not soluble in water: it stays as a solid in water-based systems, which suits fillers, fuels and solid blends.
- Mildly acidic: pH 4 – 6.
- Sugar-free: reducing sugar 0%.
Lignin is not the same as lignosulfonate. Lignosulfonates are sulfonated lignin and dissolve readily in water; see sodium lignosulfonate and calcium lignosulfonate if you need a water-soluble product.
Uses Listed in the TDS
- Raw material and by-product fuel in the pulp and paper industry
- Feedstock for bioenergy (pyrolysis, gasification)
- Source of phenolic compounds for resins and adhesives
- Research and development of carbon fibre and bio-based plastics and composites
- Lignin-rich input in agricultural and feed applications

Frequently Asked Questions
What colour is lignin?
Black. Our lignin is a black powder.
Is lignin soluble in water?
No. Lignin does not dissolve in water. For water-soluble lignin products, use lignosulfonates.
What is the lignin content?
50% min according to the TDS, with pH 4 – 6 and 0% reducing sugar.
What is lignin used for?
As a raw material and fuel, a source of phenolic compounds for resins and adhesives, in bio-based materials development and as a lignin-rich input in agricultural and feed applications.
How is lignin packed?
20 or 25 kg woven bags with polyethylene liner; custom packing on request.
