Products

Automatic and precise process allows the production of two main ranges: Grits (GM) and Feeds.

These two ranges, coming from corn cob, can be used in different applications such as: feed, animal health and nutrition, plant protection, cosmetics, bioplastics, surface treatment, laboratory animal bedding, and many others. Our ranges of products are divided into several particle sizes from 32 µm to 5600 µm. Each particle size has specific capabilities: the finer the particle size is, the wider the exchange surface is and the greater the absorption will be.

Kinetics of absorption also vary from the Grits (GM) range to the FEEDS range. Corn cob has an alveolar structure where active substances and solvents can be incorporated. The stability of active substances on carriers is an important factor to take into account.

Our products can be formulated as tablets as well.
The tablet formulation has various advantages:

Control on release icon

Allows to have good control on release of the active substance that it contains. This property can be attractive in animal feeding or in animal health, for the biocontrol, for the development of phytosanitary products, or for other applications.

Optimize the storage icon

Optimize the storage and the transport (by compacting, the density increases).

Tableted product icon

Facilitate the use and the administration of the product, a tableted product will be easier to dose and less volatile.

Corncob products are biobased ingredients shaped for answering industrial issues.
