Bio-Flex ®
Biodegradable PLA-Blends
Bio-Flex ® film compounds are innovative PLA / copolyester blends.
The excellent processing qualities stem from the outstanding compatibility
of the polymeric components polylactic acid (PLA) and the biodegradable copolyester.
This new material can be processed on conventional blow moulding lines
without the need for laborious adjustments to screws, dies and take offs.
Since the polymer compound is perfectly homogeneous,
the resultant blow-moulded film can be stretched down to gauges of 8µm.
A further plus are the haptic properties that outclass those of biodegradable
film made of pure polyester or polyester filled with thermoplastic starch.
Bio-Flex ® film compounds are characterized by a broad range of
processing temperature of about 60°C. Moreover, the extrusion temperature
is significantly higher than those of other biodegradable film compounds.
The cleaning of screws is thereby simplified and change of material,
e.g. from PE to Bio-Flex ®, is possible in shortest time.
Bio-Flex ® film compounds are produced with a high percentage of
renewable resources. Bio-Flex ® blends contain NatureWorks® PLA.
Films of Bio-Flex ® can be printed with conventional print technology
and without corona treatment.
These films may be dyed by master batches without difficultie.
 
Biograde ®
Biodegradable Cellulose Compounds
Biograde ® Compounds are innovative Cellulose blends.
Their range finds wide applications: manufacture of injection moulded parts,
cast films and transparent and stretched films.
Biograde ® Compounds combine high performance, ease of processing
and remarkable mechanical properties.
This class of bioplastics represents a perfect compromise between
the opposing demands of effective biodegradability on the one hand
and food resistance and high thermal stability on the other hand.
Biograde ® Compounds consist predominantly of renewable resources,
but do not contain starch or starch derivatives.
Fibrolon ®
Natural fiber reinforced compounds
Fibrolon ® represents a new range of plastics reinforced by natural
fibers which can be extruded to profiles, plates and hollow sections.
These polymers are suitable for e. g. automotive interiors.
Fibrolon ® compounds are highly resistant and can be processed to diverse forms,
which can be obtained by injection moulding of big and complex shapes.
