Mussel filaments are an organic matter with unsuspected qualities. The Nantes company Bysco has developed a process to transform it into a technical textile. Its performance is of interest to the mobility and construction sectors.
BYSCO was looking for a fiber that might be able to replace fiberglass in the manufacture of composite racing boats. The tests carried out show that this fiber is too flexible to make boat hulls. On the other hand, they found other properties: in the natural state, the material does not catch fire, it is resistant and very light with a very low density.
BYSCO produces non-woven technical textiles in mold byssus that conform to many industrial applications. It is bio-based, adaptable, scalable and fully customizable material.
BYSCOPLAK: a solid and rigid bio-based material with remarkable performance.
Bio-based technical non-woven panels provide an ecological response to the problem of environmental material transition. Like any early-life start-up, Bysco is supported by calls for projects and industrialization plans.
