Bio-Based Color Coating and Flakes for Design
At BioPowder.com, we are proud to introduce our latest innovation: bio-based color coating solutions. Our newly launched line of natural color particles for bio colors, Olea Colors, aims to replace conventional color flakes that rely on mineral substrates. With a wide range of captivating colors and various grain sizes, Olea Color Flakes not only offers versatility in design applications, but also sets new environmental standards.
Originally conceived as a proof of concept, Olea Colors emerged from our commitment to developing a natural substrate for color flakes. Traditionally, quartz-based color flakes have dominated the field of color coatings and polymer composites. However, our project has evolved into a comprehensive range of on-demand particles for bio colors. As an alternative, we also provide manufacturers of color particles with a natural substrate derived entirely from refined olive stones.

Natural Performance Particles from Circular Economy Resources
Olea Colors not only offer stunning decorative qualities, but also boast exceptional features that make them stand out as a superior choice for bio-based color coating. With a wide variety of colors, impressive strength and stability, and excellent mechanical resistance, our color particles for bio-based color coating are designed to withstand scuffing and maintain their vibrant appearance even when exposed to UV rays and chemical agents. Additionally, they excel in thermal and acoustic performance, adding value to any design project. Furthermore, their unique properties simplify the process of achieving seamless finishes, making them an ideal solution for creating visually appealing and environmentally friendly bio-based color coating.
Olea Colors, our bio color solution, serves as an exceptional alternative to quartz colors in various manufacturing industries. Not only do they offer a wide range of captivating shades and grain sizes, but they also enhance abrasion and scratch resistance. These bio-based color coatings provide exceptional support for thin layering techniques and can be effortlessly applied to any surface, making them particularly well-suited for sustainable renovation projects. Choose Olea Colors to achieve both aesthetic appeal and environmental consciousness in your coatings.
The substrate solutions made by BioPowder.com have their origin on the olive tree. In a complex process, olives are compressed in the olive oil mill, which produces a solid residue. From this so-called olive cake, we extract the crushed fragments of olive stone in order to refine them into micronized granules and fine powders. Hence, the manufacturing process involves by-products only. No crops are required for this upcycling process, which transforms agricultural waste into high-performance
terials.
Made-to-Measure Substrates and Bio-Granules for Colours
Depending on the application, we produce natural and coloured granules in a variety of grain size ranges. This enables a wealth of rheology and texture effects, possibly with anti-slip properties. Most common sizes include:
0-100 µm
100-315 µm
300-600 µm
600-800 µm
0.8-1.3 mm
1.3-1.7 mm
0.6-2 mm
1.3-3 mm
Olea Colors can be mixed with epoxy, polyurethane or polyaspartic resin in order to create seamless coatings that are extremely resistant, with a recommended thickness that varies between 3 and 10 millimetres. The composition of the olive stone substrate allows for easy dying with plant-based or mineral sustainable pigments. In addition, we provide hydrophobic particles using silane-based or other methods.
At BioPowder.com, we are proud to be natural colors suppliers, dedicated to advancing sustainability in material science and leading the way in replacing harmful microplastics. Our substrates derived from fruit stones not only promote eco-friendly disposal and recycling practices, but also offer potential cost and resource savings across various industries.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Bio-Based Color Coating
1. Are bio based materials sustainable?
Yes, bio-based materials are generally considered more sustainable than those from fossil sources. They are derived from renewable resources such as plants, crops, or agricultural waste, which makes them less reliant on finite fossil fuel resources. Bio-based materials often have lower carbon footprints compared to traditional petroleum-based materials, and they can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, many bio-based materials are biodegradable or compostable, further enhancing their sustainability credentials. At BioPowder.com, we offer a wide range of sustainable solutions derived exclusively from compostable by-products. Our bio-based materials have extremely low carbon footprints and do not require any industrial recycling. With our high-quality bio-based materials, we provide performance-driven solutions that align with your environmental values. Choose BioPowder.com for a greener future.
2. What is the meaning of biobased material?
Bio-based materials are materials that are derived from renewable biological resources. They are typically derived from plants, crops, or agricultural waste, and can include various forms such as fibres, resins, polymers, or chemicals. Bio-based materials are considered an alternative to conventional materials that are derived from fossil fuels. The production and use of bio-based materials have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote resource efficiency, and contribute to a more sustainable and circular economy.
3. What is bio-based coating?
Bio-based coating refers to a type of coating that is derived from renewable resources such as plants, crops, or agricultural waste. These coatings are designed to offer sustainable alternatives to traditional petroleum-based coatings.
