Derived from renewable material and known for its superior biodegradability, BioPBS (Bio-Based Polybutylene Succinate) is revolutionary in its dual biological properties.
- BASED ON BIO
Using advanced technology it is a bio-based and biodegradable plastic. - COMPOSTABLE
Derived from natural resources, such as sugar cane cassava and corn, BioPBS is compostable into biomass, carbon dioxide and water. Products made with BioPBS can be disposed of together with organic waste. BioPBS has no adverse effects on the environment and is naturally compostable, without requiring a specialized composting facility.
Benefits of PBS
- High service temperature: applications made by BioPBS can withstand up to 100°C. BioPBS can be used for hot beverage cups, boxes and utensils for freshly cooked food.
- High Performance Heat Sealability – Has at least the same level of seal strength as conventional petroplastic, but is achieved at a lower temperature. We provide the same performance with a lower cost in waste disposal expenses.
- Good printability without pretreatment
- Compatible with natural fibers
- Excellent processability
- Mutual compatibility with other biodegradable plastics such as polylactic acid (PLA). Blending BioPBS with other types of biopolymers can meet customer requirements to a higher degree of properties.
It has properties comparable to polyethylene terephthalate (PET); It has excellent mechanical properties and, like other aliphatic polyesters, is thermally stable up to temperatures of approximately 90-120C. In addition, it shows good drying characteristics and is biodegradable.
PBS has very good processability and can be processed by conventional processing techniques such as extrusion, injection or blow molding.
