Bioplast - Model 105 -Advanced Biopolymer Compound for Rigid Applications

• Suitable for stretched tape and fibre spinning
• Better impact resistance than 100% PLA
• Additive to increase rigidity in flexible films

General applications

Bioplast 105 is a versatile plant-based biopolymer with many applications, including some food applications. Here are some of the most common ones:

• Fibre spinning items
• Semi-finished products
• Thermoformed products (cold applications <50 °C)
• 3D printing
• Blend partner in combination with other Bioplast materials

Sustainability and biodegradability

Bioplast 105 has a bio-based carbon share of 67% according to ISO 16620-2 or ASTM D6866. As with all Biotec products, Bioplast 105 is completely biodegradable. Depending on the thickness, this product is compostable according to EN13432 at industrial composting facilities.

Processing

Bioplast 105 is designed for extrusion thermoforming but can also be processed on conventional equipment for sheet film extrusion (thermoforming) and cast film production.

The absence of plasticiser allows the material to be easily processed to manufacture stable products of consistent quality with an excellent shelf life. Products created with Bioplast 105 can be coloured with compostable masterbatches and are sealable (heat sealing, RF, ultra-sonic). Additionally, they are printable. As a blend partner, it can also give additional rigidity to all flexible films.
