<Description: Subject: New biobased and environmental friendly resin hardener system from renewable raw materials for industrial application

Proposal Outline:
The technical objective of this project is the development of reactive resin systems with epoxies obtained from natural oils, particularly from the oil of "Lallemantia Iberica" and of 'Linaceae' (flax, linseed). This new technology will enable the SME partners to develop new environmental friendly and thus highly competitive products with excellent market prospectives in Europe and abroad. Further general
strategic objectives addressed are:
- the production of materials which neither affect man nor the environment negatively during production, application and use
- the use of renewable, plant raw materials
- sustainable improvement of the agriculture both in Central Europe and in the adjacent Eastern European countries 
- protection of fossil raw materials and primary energy (crude oil and coal)
- climatic protection by reduction of CO2 emission

By the application of the research results, as coating materials and binders in mechanical and civil engineering tasks substantial benefit to EC environment and health protection policy will be provided. The technical progress in relation to producers of reactive resins of non-European countries will provide benefits to the SMEs of the project.
The proposal deadline is the 4th September 2007 in "Research for Benefit of SMEs"in the 7th framework programme.
