increasing demands for its products the company decided to move on to a bigger production facility at ritarslingan in t by . the mission of the company is to develop and market new cellulose based materials with high functionality including water resistance dry wet strength and flame retardance etc. using green chemistry as the fundamental pillar . 1 business model edit using their patented technology organoclick has the capabilities of modifying the properties of different cellulose based materials such as paper packaging textiles and wood . this is achieved by attaching functional moieties to the cellulose fibers at low temperature using organic molecules and catalysts which have minimal impact on the environment and the natural ecosystem . employing organoclick technology to modify cellulose fibers paper and packaging edit organoclick is able to produce paper and packaging with increased strength enhanced mechanical properties and also water resistant properties . this inexpensive and efficient method also reduces the raw materials required for paper production . 2 textiles edit using it proprietary technology organoclick has developed a new product organotex which is used to make cellulose based fabrics e.g. cotton hydrophobic i.e. water resistant . it is a clean tech innovation with the advantage of replacing the conventionally used non environmentally friendly fluorocarbons . this technology allows cellulosic fibers to covalently bind to a unique bio additive developed and manufactured by organoclick . 3 furthermore technology to achieve increased strength properties in nonwoven textiles has also been developed . 4 wood edit organoclick has developed a technology that is able to retard the rate of wood decay and also impart fire resistant characteristics with its product organowood . 5 it can also be applied to other biofiber based materials such as fiberboards . corporate governance edit m rten hellberg ceo ashkan pouya chairman
