07:51 AM EDT, 07/22/2025 (MT Newswires) -- EcoSynthetix Inc. ( ECSNF ) , a renewable chemicals company that produces a portfolio of commercially proven bio-based products, announced Tuesday it has received a new, second purchase order from a global pulp manufacturer for its proprietary strength aid, SurfLock.

A statement noted the purchase order represents approximately $800,000 worth of material for immediate delivery with additional orders expected in the second half of 2025 to support their production schedule.

"This new order from our key strategic account in the pulp end market demonstrates both the market need and the success this leading global manufacturer is generating with its differentiated enhanced pulp offering that uses SurfLock," said Jeff MacDonald, CEO of EcoSynthetix ( ECSNF ).

"The pulp end market is a billion-dollar opportunity. With the availability and pricing of conventional long, strong softwood fibers continuing to be a challenge in the paper and packaging industry, our strength aids allow suppliers of hardwood pulp to improve the performance of their pulp and replace softwood fiber at significant savings to their customers. This new purchase order signals the manufacturer is ahead of their original plan set earlier this year, more than doubling the run-rate demand in the back half of 2025. The leading global pulp manufacturer is investing internal resources in its differentiated offering and driving market penetration. We are well positioned to support this success based on our capital-light manufacturing assets with the capability to scale production as they drive further demand."

SurfLock is a bio-based strength aid that increases the mechanical strength in pulp, tissue and paper-based packaging applications.
