BIO WOOD ADHESIVES

VINAVIL continues its path of innovation in sustainability by expanding its product range for the wood sector and promoting two brand-new products for wood bonding, class D3, with high heat resistance and creep resistance: VINAVIL BIO 2252 M, a BIO vinyl dispersion according to the mass balance approach, and VINAVIL BIO 2211 L, instead based on the C-14 approach.

Following the achievement of ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) for both its Italian production sites in Ravenna and Villadossola, Vinavil has begun purchasing bio-attributed vinyl acetate. This means that all vinyl products in the Vinavil range can be made available upon request in a BIO version according to the mass balance approach. In this case, no specific homologation tests are required since there are no formulation changes that would affect performance.

VINAVIL BIO 2211 L, on the other hand, represents a new challenge for the D3 adhesive market, as it is the result of extensive research into innovating traditional formulations to meet market demands for increasingly higher biogenic carbon content in finished adhesives, while safeguarding performance and costs. Vinavil 2211 L contains 11% carbon from bio-based sources, measured using the C14 method. A 20% version will also be available soon.

CULTURE

STRESA FESTIVAL 2025

As every year, VINAVIL sponsored an evening at the STRESA FESTIVAL, the prestigious concert series held each summer against the stunning backdrop of Lake Maggiore.For VINAVIL, the event on September 3rd was particularly special, not only because of the presence of 150 guests. The success of the evening was guaranteed by the performance itself: Mozart’s DON GIOVANNI. For the first time in Stresa, the opera was brought to life in a completely new way, thanks to director and dramaturge GianMaria Aliverta, who has been presenting this innovative approach to opera around the world. The focus of the performance was on the audience, placed in close contact with the singers, who are also exceptionally talented actors. This approach completely transformed the audience’s perspective, gently immersing them into the story, allowing them to experience all the nuances felt by the protagonists, and breaking down the traditional barrier between spectators and the stage. The result was a truly immersive and captivating performance, accompanied by a remarkable string quartet. 

Vinavil is proud to support cultural events of this caliber and to strengthen its relationships with both clients and the local community.
