NANO CELLULOSE

Cellulose, produced from wood‑based pulp, has been gaining significant attention in recent years as a renewable material. Even though we refer to it broadly as “cellulose,” it actually comes in various types depending on shape, particle size, and manufacturing method. By adjusting these factors, cellulose can deliver a wide range of functional properties.

About NCC – Nano Crystalline Cellulose (Crystal Nano Cellulose)

Nano‑crystalline cellulose (NCC)—also known by various names such as nanocellulose crystals or cellulose nanocrystals—is one of several types of cellulose materials. NCC consists of nano-sized cellulose particles with a crystalline structure.

NCC isolates only the crystalline portion of cellulose, it exhibits high strength and high elasticity. When blended with other materials, NCC can impart performance characteristics—particularly mechanical strength—that the base material alone cannot achieve.

About Top Chain Co.

Top Chain Co. manufactures many different kinds of cellulose and supplies them to customers across the globe in fields such as medical, food, industrial, and cosmetics.

In some cases, the company develops custom cellulose materials tailored to specific customer needs, obtains patents for these innovations, and contributes to customers’ product development and enhancement.

The cellulose supplied by Top Chain Co. is produced under strict control starting from the tree planting stage of the wood (pulp) used as raw material. In addition, the company employs specialized technologies in the process of converting pulp into cellulose, enabling the stable supply of high quality cellulose.

Nano Cellulose by Top Chain Co.

A major advantage of Top Chain’s NCC is its ability to be modified to match the primary material that it is combined with. By tailoring NCC to the target material, it becomes possible to:

  • Enhance mechanical properties while introducing thixotropy
  • Strengthen hydrophobic materials by modifying NCC to be compatible with them

Application Fields for Nano Crystalline Cellulose (NCC)

We provide nano crystalline cellulose samples free of charge for research and development purposes, tailored to your specific needs. Even outside the application fields mentioned above, modified NCC may be usable. We can also propose cellulose types suitable for use as food additives according to your requests.
