pbat biodegradable
Intro
The plastic total production in the world has reached over 9 billion tones since the Industrial Revolution. Around 90 kilograms of plastic products are casted away every year, and most of them are non-recyclable and non-biodegradable, resulting around 1800 million tons of wastes flow into the sea, which has lead a great threat to the ocean and land. Plastic pollution, also known as white pollution, has been confirmed by NOAA that more than 600 species in the sea are killed because of the plastic wastes. Environmental protection hence has become market trends and even turned out to be a part of the factors that increase the product value. A huge number of international labels show their initiative on using and developing biodegradable materials or plastics.
Biodegradable plastic, also known as green and sustainable plastic, such as PBS (Polybutylene Succinate) and PBAT (Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate) are now the biodegradable plastics that have been used commonly. Biodegradable plastic is non-toxic and can be degraded into water and CO2 (or Methane) after being buried in the environment where with light, heat, oxygen, humid, microbes, etc.
PBAT (Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate) is a terpolymer which is classified as a biodegradable thermoplastic showing an exceptional impact strength, tearing strength, heat stability, ductility and malleability. Thanks to its great formability, PBAT is mostly used in extrusion blow molding mainly for film, disposable packaging, etc. Films made of PBAT feature excellent strength and printability, and will become part of the future market trend.
GO YEN CHEMICAL INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. (GYC GROUP) is a leading manufacturer of specialty chemicals in Asia. We devote ourselves to supplying products and solutions to our customers worldwide to satisfy and expand the market needs.
GOYENCHEM-PBAT102 Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate, developed by GYC GROUP, features remarkable mechanical properties, processing behavior, formability, which makes it ideal for extrusion molding and extrusion blow molding in producing agricultural film, (food) packaging material, zipper bag, semi-transparent container, etc. GOYENCHEM-PBAT102 can as well be used for compounding with biodegradable functional additives to make which into PBAT masterbatch.
