What We Make
products
9FIBER® offers a variety of Engineered Organic Fibers, including both food and non-food cellulosic additives.
Our convenient dry blends come ready to use in pre-weighed, industrial containers in specified quantities. This simplifies incorporation into final products of our uniform, high-quality, hyper-clean engineered material.
9FIBER® hyper-clean and decontaminated particles and fibers provide a higher degree of whiteness than conventional hemp-derived pulp due to the removal of lignin and metals from cellular cavities; the chasms absorb parent mix into the cellulosic structure with better integrity and colorfastness.
Engineered Organic Fiber™
non-food cellulosic additives
9FIBER® created a family of Engineered Organic Fiber™ that, when incorporated into non-food applications such as blends or pulp, increases strength, stiffness, and thermal performance, making compounds suitable for structural applications while providing eco-friendly content.
Currently, conventional virgin forest cellulosic-based textiles include rayon (viscose) and lyocell fibers, which carry a chemical and environmental burden. This could be reduced with the 9FIBER® production processes.
In addition to this, consumers are increasingly concerned about synthetic fibers and the plastic contamination they produce. Consumers are seeking more natural fibers, and 9FIBER® ingredients are well-positioned to meet that need.
NINIX™
ENGINEERED ORGANIC FIBER™
Short Engineered Organic Fiber™ allows product developers to meet consumer demand for environmentally friendly
products that are highly functional yet cost-effective.
Additionally, they can help processors and OEMs to meet their sustainability objectives by reducing processing costs.
tensix™
ENGINEERED ORGANIC FIBER™
Long Engineered Organic Fiber™ can be combined with glass fiber or impact modified copolymer for materials that meet the requirements of more demanding applications.
The advantages of using Long Engineered Organic Fiber™ over glass fiber as reinforcement in polypropylene include renewable content to meet sustainability objectives, lower energy consumption during processing, and reduced tool wear.
HYix™ conventional textiles
ENGINEERED ORGANIC FIBER™
9FIBER® created HYIX™, a mid-quality Long Engineered Organic Fiber™ which can be incorporated into woven and knit applications.
hyothread™ for non-wovens
ENGINEERED ORGANIC FIBER™
9FIBER® created an Long Engineered Organic Fiber™ that, when incorporated into non-woven applications such as polypropylenes or natural fibers, increases strength, stiffness, and thermal performance.
9CELL™
ENGINEERED ORGANIC FIBER™
Our premium Long Engineered Organic Fiber™ outshines conventional hemp by providing unparalleled sustainability, improved hydrophobic properties, and repeatable certified white color. These high-performance technical fibers can compete with synthetic fibers and replace bamboo, birch, and other cellulosic additives. In development.
CELLUXE™
ENGINEERED ORGANIC FIBER™
Our mid-value compound provides an unmatched advantage for a variety of industrial and commercial uses of our Short Engineered Organic Fiber™ in place of conventional fibers.
HYOCELL™
bioplastic additive
ENGINEERED ORGANIC FIBER™
Offered in masterbatch form for composite plastic manufacturing and ready-to-mold thermoplastic pulp for molders, HYOCELL™ Short Engineered Organic Fiber™ for plastic composites are available as cellulosic feedstock to blend with polypropylene with both high and low melt indices. In development.
9color™
bioplastic additive
ENGINEERED ORGANIC FIBER™
COLOR MASTERBATCH
Bio-plastic has become a key market driver due to global ocean plastic waste. Produced using a process that allows control of dispersion of cellulosic fibers within a polymer matrix, our additive readily absorbs dyes and composites allow for smooth surface finish for industrial equipment, home appliances, insulation cables, injection-molding, and blow-molding of bottles, textiles, and packaging. In development.
bioplastic additive
ENGINEERED ORGANIC FIBER™
WHITE MASTERBATCH
White masterbatch has a wide range of applications. Lamination, coating, pipes, thermo-forming, protective films, fibers, and in non-woven, blow molding and injection molding. The hyper-clean and decontaminated raw particles provide a higher degree of whiteness than conventional hemp-derived pulp. They achieve a clearer opacity due to the removal of lignin and metals from cellular cavities. The chasms absorb plastic masterbatch mix into the cellulosic structure. In development.
lite engineered organic fiber™ (LEOF)
FAMILY OF cellulosic additiveS
We have optimized LEOF™ for food, cosmetics, and composite additives in consumer products. The key performance characteristics of LEOF™ are a material input uncompromised by contaminants, and an increase in bulk and fiber content without a major impact on flavor or color. Our materials are derived from the agricultural waste of known, unknown, or mixed cultivars.
cellulosic food additives
Cellulosic additives are a popular fiber supplement and 9FIBER’s premium production-ready hemp-derived additives can be easily incorporated into existing manufacturing processes with no need for re-tooling.
LEOF™
ENGINEERED ORGANIC FIBER™
CALORIC SUBSTITUTE
Short Engineered Organic Fiber™ provides the volume or bulk to food ingredients. As a hemp-cellulosic additive, it is plant-based, low water use, circular processing, zero waste, and earth positive. In development.
cellusix™
ENGINEERED ORGANIC FIBER™
ANTI-CAKE
Short Engineered Organic Fiber™ has the ability to absorb moisture and coat ingredients in a fine powder, making it the ingredient of
choice for shredded and grated cheeses, spice mixes, and powdered drink mixes
anti-caking applications. In development.
9carb™
ENGINEERED ORGANIC FIBER™
GEL PASTE
The gelling action of Short Engineered Organic Fiber™, when combined with water, provides both thickening and stabilizing qualities in the food to which it is added. Short Engineered Organic Fiber™ gel acts similarly to an emulsion, suspending ingredients within a solution and preventing water from
separating out. In development.
carbix™
ENGINEERED ORGANIC FIBER™
CREAM & SAUCE
The thickening power of Short Engineered Organic Fiber™ gel also allows for more air to be whipped into products like ice cream, or whipped topping. Short Engineered Organic Fiber™ allows the production of thick and creamy food items without the use of as much fat. In development.
vibeix™
ENGINEERED ORGANIC FIBER™
DRINKS
Since Short Engineered Organic Fiber™ binds and mixes easily with water, it is added to increase the fiber content of drinks and other liquid items when the gritty texture of regular fiber supplements would be undesirable. In development.
HYCHOW™
ENGINEERED ORGANIC FIBER™
PET CARE
Since Short Engineered Organic Fiber™ is added to increase the fiber content of wet and dry foods in place of corn, straw, or virgin lumber ingredients, pet food can be labeled “free of wood filler”. In development.
