The bio-based offer of the Radilon family, including Radilon® D (PA610) and other experimental grades.

Bionside™ is our collection of bio-based polyamides of the Radilon family, developed through years of expertise in material science and an unwavering commitment to sustainability. 

This collection is the result of extensive research into bio-sourced solutions, with each polymer carefully designed and produced within RadiciGroup’s advanced facilities.

Our Research & Development team is continuously pushing the boundaries, exploring new ways to create innovative  and eco-friendly materials. Bionside™ is just the beginning of our journey towards a more sustainable future, offering  high-performance solutions with a reduced environmental impact.

• To improve environmental performance

Choosing bio-sourcing represents an important commitment to the environment and to reducing dependency on fossil fuels.  Bio-based renewable polymers are a viable alternative to fossil-based polymers due to their lower environmental impact, including  CO₂ emissions.

• To achieve specific technical performance

Thanks to their chemical conformation, bio-based polyamides can offer particularly high levels of performance, making them the most suitable material for specific applications.

Bionside™ is crafted using renewable raw materials, primarily derived from the oil extracted from castor beans.  The castor plant is cultivated in semi-arid regions, requiring minimal water to thrive. This approach not only reduces water consumption but also supports sustainable agricultural practices, making Bionside™ an eco-friendly choice for industries seeking to lower their environmental impact without compromising on quality and performance.

Bionside™  is the ideal solution for all those sectors where sustainability and high performance are required.

It has countless applications in:

RadiciGroup has already available partially bio based polyamides (PA610) and is testing new materials to expand its sustainable product range. Discover more in the BIONSIDE BROCHURE.
