Company Summary

Rebel Inc. is a Silicon Valley startup that is developing proprietary polymer formulations for fiber and textile industries. For decades, the polymer industry has attempted to find a process by which to produce Acrylic type polymers, in a similar method, to other common synthetic fibers. We have achieved this by developing a patented product formulation and a polymer platform that can provide a significantly greener and more sustainable solution.
