The Problems
We are Solving
The global adhesives, coatings, paintings and sealants market exceeds $500 billion and is built almost entirely on fossil-derived monomers. Over 90% of material in dispersed applications is never recovered, persisting in the environment as microplastics.
Kaufert Technologies has developed a patented renewable macromonomer (MM) platform that copolymerizes directly into existing acrylic systems.
No new infrastructure. No process changes.
Just a better, more sustainable polymer
Backgrounds
Our Team
It started in the Kaufert laboratory on the University of Minnesota's St. Paul campus — where a polymer scientist and a materials engineer kept asking the same stubborn question: Why does sustainable have to mean worse?
